In June 2021, 5 of our members had a chat with BBC Radio Lancashire presenter Garry Scott about their issues with alcoholism (alcohol addiction), described how they got sober and recovered from the illness.

The first story in this episode is from Mark who is East Lancashire Intergroup's current Young Person Liaison Officer. Mark grew up as a promising footballer but alcohol got in the way of a promising career.

Thanks to an unfortunate event, he found AA and has been sober for more than 22 years!
