Recovering addict on mission to inspire others
It takes bravery to ask for help dealing with addiction, motivational speaker Rich Barnes told community members at a recent public event.
In fact, it took him 28 years to get to the point where he could say no to the alcohol and cocaine that had dominated his life, marring moments like the birth of his first child.
But he reminded listeners that help is within reach, even for those who have been in the clutches of addiction for most of their lives.
Barnes has recently been touring schools and organisations to share his story in the hopes of reaching those who are similarly battling addiction. He led free public sessions at John A. Cumber Primary School and the Cayman Brac Public Library last week, which were hosted by the Alex Panton Foundation, Boyz2Men and the National Drug Council.
