MY #BOROMANCAN STORY:

So for years I have “cracked on” and got on with things and thought things will work out. After a difficult marriage breakdown, two young kids, no money and struggling I kept going, going and going.

At one stage I walked into Tesco on Roman Road, placed my beer on the counter and the lady who served me put her hand on mine and said “You seem to be a nice lad, whatever your going thorough this isn’t the answer” It was then I realised how often I was buying drink, and I felt embarrassed.
