Sarina Wheatman

    Drawing from a thirty-year career as an addiction therapist in the UK, Holland, and Jersey, this author brings a wealth of practical experience to her writing. Having achieved extended sobriety herself through the methods she espouses, she aims to 'change perceptions one book at a time.' Her work stems from a deep-seated amazement at how little addiction is understood, particularly the societal stigma that prevents individuals from seeking help. She endeavors to contribute to altering the grim statistics of addiction-related deaths, viewing it as a mental health catastrophe needing a rebrand.
