Book your Post Programme Review with Megan

Hi, my name is Megan

I have been working in the field of addiction recovery for the past three years, a path inspired by my personal history as the child of two addicts. Growing up and being exposed to the brutal realities of addiction (unaware that this was not the experience that every other child was having), I had to learn from a young age to survive and be my own place of safety. Upon reflection I recognise that I did not walk this road alone, the support from my community of friends and professionals was imperative for me to grow.

Loving someone in addiction, a lot of times means you have to learn to re-prioritise yourself after habitually putting your needs last. As a result of my background, the practice of self-care did not come naturally to me.

Prioritising and taking care of myself is a commitment I consciously make, by dedicating regular focus and practice. My favourite forms of self-care include immersing myself in nature, reading, hiking, meditating and creating art. Equally important is allowing myself to stop, take time out, slow down and say no. These small acts of self-service have a significant impact on my well-being, highlighting to me the importance of self-care and the work that Blossome is doing to provide a gateway to it, for those who need it most.

Having lived in the complex landscape of addiction, I understand the immeasurable impact that addiction has on those afflicted as well as their loved ones. Throughout my life addiction has been a persistent and destructive theme, shaping who I am today. I want to dedicate my career to helping others who have been impacted and can relate to these experiences.

I am proud to be part of the Blossome community and to have the opportunity to hear about your experiences with the Summer Self-Care Programme. I thank you in advance for sharing your insights and story with me.
