Ep 89. From addiction to action: Carl’s story

Carl shares his journey from alcohol addiction to becoming a volunteer, driven by a deep desire to repay the health and care system that supported him. In his own words, “A leopard can change its spots!”

Along the way, Carl reflects on the people who made a difference in his life, including Clare and Karen, Assistant Managers at De Wint Court, an Extra Care housing scheme in Lincoln, where he now lives. Both Clare and Karen join the conversation to share their perspectives.

We also hear from Mary Nel, Lead Practitioner at Lincolnshire County Council, who highlights the real impact of Carl sharing his story, and how it can inspire meaningful change for others.

Recorded at De Wint Court, this podcast captures his honest, powerful reflections on where he has been, how he has transformed his life, and what he hopes to do next.
