A dad-of-four has turned his life around after spending most of his 20s addicted to drinking and taking drugs.
Mark Tummon from Runcorn had his last drink six years ago. He started his road to recovery in 2015 after trying to slash his face open with a craft knife at his friend's house. He attended Alcoholics Anonymous and had his last drink and drug in late 2016.
At his lowest point Mark, who is a personal trainer, stole money from his partner to feed his addictions. His three children - Cian 15, Caelan, 10 and Orla, eight - barely saw him. Yet he felt nobody understood just how much he was struggling, despite him spending most of his week drinking and taking drugs.
