Raised in a financially struggling family, Dave's physical needs were met, but emotional nourishment was scarce. His parents seldom expressed love or pride, leaving him with a profound sense of emptiness and yearning.

At the tender age of 14, Dave's life took a devastating turn when he stumbled upon an empty house and a heart-wrenching note from his mother, announcing she was leaving the family. The sense of abandonment and isolation he experienced became unbearable, leading him down a path of self-destructive behaviour.

Join us as we accompany Dave on his journey from the depths of alcohol abuse to the heights of self-discovery, celebrating his triumphs, acknowledging his struggles, and learning from the profound lessons he has encountered. Through his story, we explore the incredible potential for healing, resilience, and the beauty of embracing a life of self-love and authenticity.
