Kyra Dobson, Recovery Champion of the Bridge Project at The Vault Recovery Café shares how her journey of recovery changed her life beyond expectations:
“I have quite a long history with the Bridge Project. I first attended in 1996 as a “concerned other” and got help and support for myself too.
A few years later I was in treatment with the Bridge for my own addiction. After a detox in 2011, I subsequently relapsed again but had managed to find my way into The Vault Recovery Café. It was very different then, but I was shown kindness and encouragement by my peers in there; especially by Tony Gibson who had put his heart into this little backstreet recovery café.
My journey was one full of relapses but The Vault was always somewhere I felt safe and understood. It was a little bit of light in the utter darkness that had become my life.
Around The Vault community, I felt it was possible to get clean. I was given hope and others believed in me. I managed to stop using street drugs in February 2016 with the help of Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and the wonderful friends I made there. I would also like to mention other people who played a vital role in supporting me: Tony Gibson, Amy Lowther, Paddy Gallagher and so many other Vault members. Years of relapse and misery had shown me that I could not do it on my own. When I returned to The Vault in 2016 I was half my weight and totally broken. I decided I was going to do whatever it took to stay clean.
I started volunteering in The Vault to give back for what I had been given. People believed I could do it and I did. I came off my Methadone and life started to happen again. I was successful in my application for a full time job at the Bridge as Recovery Champion for the Vault Café and it has been, and still is, an amazing experience. I didn’t have the belief in myself as to what I was capable of but The Bridge Project had that belief in me.
I am a mother of a 21 year old daughter who now has her mum back. By continuing in my own personal recovery, I am mending the relationship and making amends for the past. She is very proud of me these days.
I love being at the heart of The Vault community, getting the chance to watch people grow in confidence from when they first walk through the door, starting their own journey into recovery. To watch them make friends and start to enjoy life again. Recovery is possible, if I can do it, anyone can!” ... See MoreSee Less
