Clouds House Treatment Consultant Michael Rawlinson chats with Matt Thomas, co-founder of Music Support and Communications Consultant to Action on Addiction.

Matt talks about the importance of looking after his recovery every day, especially at Christmas, and about how he believes addiction is the only potentially fatal condition that can cause the sufferer to behave in a uniquely anti-social and frequently repellent manner, thereby distracting others from it's fatal nature because they are focusing on the behaviour. 

Talking about the powerful nature of addiction and the associated stigma, Matt also tells his own story and how he came to be a founder of the charity Music Support.
