“I turned out the light, I laid back in the bed and I thought ‘what happens now?’ Is there another switch to turn off? I have no idea what to do. How do I get to sleep without alcohol?”
Dom Chambers hosts the first episode of the DHI podcast and speaks to John about his journey from early childhood trauma which led him into care, alcohol and drugs, and finally into prison, before getting the support he needed.
Dom also speaks to DHI's Chair, Sarah Davies, and its founder and Chief Executive, Rosie Phillips, about why DHI was set up in the first place and what they continue to do now.
