A short documentary about facing your worst fears head on and becoming a stronger version of yourself. ‘Sober’ has had international attention online, toured the UK with the Recovery Street Film Festival, was screened at Addaction’s recovery conference earlier this month and continues to engage at risk groups of people across the UK.
"At Addaction, we are serious about putting our service users in control of their lives. We want people to be inspired and motivated to achieve bigger and greater things in their own recovery. The film ‘Sober’ made by Gareth Bowler brilliantly conveys a message that recovery is an aspiration that can be achieved.
