A successful and grateful recovering drug addict.
My name is Alex Hamlyn and I am a recovering drug addict.
I used various substances for 17 years and I have been clean for 27 years in October 2021. This is my story.
I started using drugs at the age of 13 and I used to a greater or lesser extend till the age of 30, but there didn’t seem to be anything going on in my life that drew me towards drugs. I came from a reasonably functional family. I think I was quite a popular, reasonably well-adjusted adolescent at that time.
