A poem about my fall into violence. I spent my childhood believing I was weak until I learned I could fight just as well, if not harder. I got drunk and got into a fight and I nearly didn’t stop, this could have ended 2 lives. Its taken years to come to terms with the guilt of the life I lived

10 years ago today I was dying. I’d died once, could have gone any time. I had TB and due to the guilt of my past life of addiction and toxic meds had led me into a full on psychological breakdown, I was patient zero of a super virulent strain of tb. God hated me so much he decided to end the world

A poem based on the true story of a 19 year old friend and single mother I lost in the 90s who died of a heroin OD in a flat in Gipton, Leeds

Stop telling #men that their stories don’t matter. Stop telling men that they must have wanted it. Our stories matter too. I’m a #male #childhood #trafficking #survivor. I put up with #comments like this everyday because I speak up for #men like me.

Talking about how my #addiction and mental illness lead me to #suicide and how I met the woman who saved my life. The Woman who became my wife

She came and Im So happy. Yes like me she was old and unwanted for a while, needed some attention but as her new owner be both have a new purpose for good. We are shooting my first feature #film together and I can't wait to help give a #voice to the voiceless and marginalised.

First purchase of the new year. Time to help give a voice to the voiceless and amplify the stories of the Marginalised

Took the kids out and gave em a fiver each to do secret Santa. My eldest got me and knows me so well 🤣

My first serious #TV #acting job playing #American #serialkiller John Eric Armstrong in #ITN Twisted Killers series 1 episode 2: The dead don't say No.

I wasn't told about the part of who I would be playing until I got on set. It was a disturbing role.

The life of addiction, of violence I led took its toll on my body. I have been left #disabled and in pain but I will not let that get in the way of me getting back behind the #camera only this time it's my 1st solo feature #film. I can't hold the camera but I can direct from a foldable chair lol

One of my own. My 1st in fact

In #addiction I was a broken man. To say my life was unmanageable would be an understatement. Robbed of my #identity by the very #trauma I had sought to mask and hide.

Seeing yourself as broken is a #survivor response, to be Bold is to #thrive. Change perspective, change your #life

I agree. However the man who was murdered didn't make legislation. Ok he may have used that to his advantage to line his own pockets but does that mean a mother has to lose a son, a child, a father, husband and brother.

Decent film although stathsms accent is ridiculous

Me and #Nurse Jackie who saved my life on 29th April 2015, the day I was released after almost losing my life to #TB because of the way I lived. 2 months in hospital. Id also had a full psychotic #breakdown convinced I had caused the apocalypse. 8st and 6ft 1. Jackie is now my biggest #supporter

We watched it too. Beautiful. It's based in the next county to us

2016 sorry. I can't find the edit feature lol

In 2026 I spent 6 months working with survivors of human trafficking and cataloguing their stories. Writing this #book gave me me the courage not only to acknowledge my #story and #trauma but to share it.

Talking about the psychological breakdown I had in hospital whilst dying of TB.

It certainly is. Will do x

🤣. We watched That Christmas as a family today. I'm not a Christmas lover (you look at it different when you've been street homeless in winter) but my wife is and I have to say it's a beautiful film based in the next county to us. Give it a look

Not one for Christmas films but the wife is. I'll get her to give it a look

My wife has long Covid. It's awful x

The time Chesney hawkes made me cry for 20 minutes after the #interview ended. It's been a journey going from violent and #homeless drug #addict to just over 10 years clean and sober and becoming a respected #actor #consultant #filmmaker #author and #podcaster. I love #recovery
