"I'd like to express my gratitude to the Matthew Project. I have recently completed a year without alcohol. This is huge achievement for me, and one which I do give myself an occasional pat on the back for. However, in my experience of dealing with substance abuse, being part of a group has been fundamental. I clearly remember laughing, around six years now, when it was suggested that I stop drinking as opposed to cutting down or becoming a social drinker (ha). It was the most preposterous notion I had ever come across.  

But it was put forward within a GROUP, with fellow 'sufferers' and with some professionals who seemed to care about me, or at least gave a damn good impression of doing so. Matthew Project is one of those groups and is the one I presently attend. I have enjoyed meeting every single person I have met there and am so glad such a place exists.”
