This year, I will participate in Sober October in memory of my mum. When someone has an addiction to something that impacts on their home, their life and their family, it can result in silence and shhhh don't talk about that. But people need to talk, end the stigma, and encourage help seeking behaviour. Halloween is usually a big night out for me, but I will be abstaining from all alcohol this month. Unless of course someone grants me a golden ticket.

Please consider donating so that The Rainbow Project can continue to provide amazing services to those people who do have addictions and those people who need to talk about their mental health!
