A man who would go without sleep "for a week at a time" due to his cocaine use has opened up about how he's completely turned his life around, and is now trying to help other people. Gareth Jones, 31, from Aberdare, has shared his story to try and help other people, and show that there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Gareth said he was always a "happy child", and had a fantastic upbringing. He said his mother worked hard as a single parent, and he was particularly close to his grandparents. He described his grandfather as "the light of his life", and everything he did was to make him proud.
He said: "Growing up was difficult for me not knowing who my father was. It felt like I always had this void missing, but he stepped up and was always the true father figure in my life.
