About The Author
Danny Smith

Breaking free from the grip of addiction is a journey filled with triumphs and setbacks, a path that Danny embarked on seven years ago despite his tumultuous relationship with alcohol, which began when he was just 18.
Danny's story is one of resilience and unwavering determination. After a 10-month stint in rehab, he embraced the path of sobriety, which he has successfully maintained for the last seven years. Previously, Danny worked in the hospitality industry, but he found himself unable to continue in that field after rehab. During this time, he recognised the opportunity to join UKAT and share the message of addiction recovery with fellow individuals seeking freedom from their chosen substances.

For the past six years, Danny has been a valuable member of UKAT's admissions team, remaining dedicated to his recovery ethos and tirelessly helping fellow addicts on their journey to sobriety.
