Gabriel Wood from Brighton started abusing alcohol and drugs from a “very young age.” At his lowest point, he became homeless and would sleep in a tent in parks around Brighton and Hove, including Stanmer Park, East Brighton Park and Queens Park.

Gabriel said: “Alcohol was the one that did the most damage to me, even though I went through every drug. “I thought it was the safest option and I thought it wouldn’t affect me mentally in the way drugs do, but it really messed me up. I was suffering psychosis and I used to have fits.
