Coming Clean With Me
Welcome to the ‘Coming Clean With Me’ Your ultimate resource for expert insights and guidance on conquering addiction.
I get it, because I've been there too. I used to be a six-day-a-week cocaine user, trapped in addiction's relentless grip for over a decade. What sets me apart is my background as a psychologist and hypnosis expert, with 29+ years years of experience. Astonishingly, I managed to hide my addiction while appearing on shows like 'ITV This Morning' and BBC documentaries.
In 2008, I had an awakening and decided it was time to find a real solution, not just for myself but for others as well. I immersed myself in every book and research paper on cocaine addiction and successfully quit.
Now, my mission is to help you do the same, raising awareness, sharing invaluable insights, and providing practical strategies for breaking free from addiction.
