We sat down to talk with Mansel Waskewitch, a student Lakeland College Canada about his recovery journey.
"I grew up being a man, thinking I don't need help, 'you can do it yourself'. And what I did myself was drink."
After +20 years of drinking, Mansel decided to start asking for help. As soon as he understood that there was help, Mansel began his sobriety journey.
Watch Mansel share his story here.
