Becky's dreams and hopes
Please Report the Errrors?
What are your
hopes for,
for the future?
Well,
um,
I'm hoping that,
um.
My partner
gets himself.
Um,
assessed for processing problems because he has,
um,
and also.
Um,
goes to rehab
again,
cause the 3 months that
you're only allowed in Stockport
was just not enough for a lifetime of abuse.
And,
um,
you know,
of using,
he was,
you know,
medded as a child and locked in a padlocked bedroom with nothing and no one.
yeah,
yeah.
And plus he was widowed at 27 with 5 children,
so.
That was huge because she was his rock,
you know,
um,
so he's
sought the help now,
um,
but of course
we never trusting anybody and never having counselling and
falling through every gap in the system since birth,
which is what one of the professionals told him,
you know,
it's,
it's gonna be a very long journey,
you know.
Um,
but I have seen it happen.
He managed to get over 100 days,
so
I just pray that
he can have another go at it,
you know,
and get the support that he needs
medically and professionally,
because he's just found out he's got cancer again.
Um,
so yeah,
um.
Yeah,
yeah,
um,
with us both looking after our friends,
um,
my best friend,
um,
with bipolar,
that took a.
He came out of rehab into like absolute madness and trying to get her
sectioned,
you know,
and detained because she was really,
really
dangerously ill
and dangerous.
We must see a difference in you.
Oh yes,
yeah,
he has,
and all my family have.
Um,
yeah,
um.
My,
my life has become
Stabler
for the first time and I really do have a,
a grasp on
some real hope
that isn't fictitious
and.
That isn't just gonna fly away,
you know,
when,
when I start going
off off key with my behaviours or my thought processes or self beliefs,
um,
I can reach out to somebody who gets it,
and they can
put me straight,
you know,
and reassure me that that's not real,
you know,
that's just your brain telling you stuff.
And that's helped immensely.
Um,
I'm also hoping,
um,
I did an ambassador's course with CG.
And
um.
I'm hoping to
be able to
set up a group for people
with addiction.
Well,
I've already got a group that's going called um
Living the Dream Clean Activity Group because I found.
Yeah,
yeah.
Well,
I found
that
I didn't have anyone to associate with Terry went into rehab.
Um,
and I didn't have anyone to sort of play with.
Um,
and it became very isolating and of course there's the meetings,
but there.
You know,
you go there to,
you know,
it's a the sort type of therapy and it's to do the work sort of thing on ourselves,
um.
But socially,
I didn't have anybody
or,
you know,
and I didn't really know how to so
um I created a group which
we just used to go for picnics after the meeting.
Um,
or coffees,
um,
and social
interaction,
isn't it just normal life.
Yeah,
yeah,
definitely.
And,
um,
me and my partner were volunteering on
the,
um,
community spirit to,
um,
charity boat in Ashton.
Yeah.
And,
um,
Princess Anne,
everyone got to meet her,
but nobody told me and I,
I missed out on meeting her last May,
but she drove the boat.
I'm well gutted.
But yeah,
um,
and that's because we don't have the car anymore because he's,
he's not medically well enough to have it now.
So,
um,
I've,
I've organised two different boat trips for people who are.
Um,
trying to
build up healthy relationships and friendships with people with
in a safe way,
you know,
even sitting in a park on a hot sunny day,
a lot of people would use alcohol or drugs,
and we were able to do that together,
um,
in a safe way,
you know,
to support each other in not
having urges to
crack open a bottle of wine or something like that.
Um,
so
that's sort of up and running a little bit,
but I want to do more work in Brinington and Stockport.
So I've been um.
I have been struggling physically,
so,
um,
um,
and with the ambassador's course,
it is designed to sort of like set up um
groups and stuff and to help in volunteering and that,
so.
I'm hoping
to
Get something off the ground,
um.
