I have written my autobiography ‘Nothing to Declare’ that dives into my past in much more detail, from London drug dealer/user to London addiction counsellor, which you can purchase here: https://markdempstercounselling.com/book/   I spent many years addicted to drugs, alcohol, and gambling; and eventually in and out of prisons.  That experience makes my counselling practice today much more enriched, from the darkness into light.  I know what it was like to steal to get money for drugs, I know how attractive a drink (and then 10 more) helps heal your emotional pain if just for a moment, I know how it feels to be powerless and out of control.  If you are looking for help, please get in contact today.  I can help you or point you in the right direction.
