OUR UNTOLD STORIES – Letters to Tomorrow Me

26 May 2016

Kiki wrote to herself in her mother tongue

Swanswell clients recovering from alcohol and substance misuse wrote letters to their future selves as part of Our Untold Stories…

Dearest Tara,

I’m writing this letter to remind you of your goals all those years ago and to congratulate you on achieving them! You were in a very hard place and have overcome some very hard obstacles! Well done you!

Leonie is now 21 years old, very beautiful and well adjusted, a bright and loving young woman. You knew you would have that nice silver, Audi sports car, money to maintain that youthful glow, and above all stayed abstinent from alcohol and kept all your close friends and family dear to your heart.

You were, back then, an amazing person to have been through what you did and came through to be an inspiration to others that has made me the amazing woman I am today: a model mother and 1000% there for Leonie.

Yours sincerely, x
