In his teenage years he started dropping out of sport and started experimenting with drugs and alcohol. This lead to the likely spiral that left Paddy to change a life homeless and facing the possibility of serving time in prison for his actions. At age 23 Paddy realised he needed to get control of his life again, and with support from his mother, Reclink Australia’s programs help to he began his rehab at Windana in Ballarat. It was here that Paddy was introduced to weekly Reclink activities and was able to participate in team sports again, with competitive football and cricket being improve life outcomes for those the highlights. “I felt like a kid again when going to the ground to play. I loved interacting with my experiencing disadvantage. teammates and the banter of the locker room”, says Paddy. Paddy always brought positive energy to the Reclink games, which was infectious to the rest of the group, this connection with a team environment made Paddy feel wanted and was the highlight of his week. Paddy made connections and progressed again in sports to playing A grade basketball in the Ballarat competition. At 23 years old, Paddy’s first game since juniors was a significant confidence builder, he loved the thrill of competition and the positive connections that he made.Paddy came to know it was okay to be himself and his confidence grew. He moved to Geelong with a good mate on a similar journey. He completed a Cert IV in Community Services and is now employed in the mental health field. “I want to thank Reclink for the opportunities they gave me, from the matches, the post-game BBQs, to the Peter Cullen medal, it always made me feel supported and needed”, said Paddy. He is now continuing to study and is excited about adventuring, travelling, and starting a family. “Reclink has given me a chance to enjoy life and taught me to be okay with who I am”, said Paddy.

Zeb I am Indian born and adopted by a Tasmanian couple. When people ask my story, I always get the same question – have you found your birth parents? Sadly, the system in India at the time of my birth was completely busted. The movie ‘Lion’ is another young Indian boy’s unique story, what follows is mine. I’m very lucky and am extremely grateful for the hand I have been dealt. My parents were Launceston based school-teachers. They had already raised three boys of their own and took me into their lives in 1981, age 2. They taught at the Riverside High School in Launceston. In fact, they met at Riverside High. A real fairytale romance. Launceston was a great place to grow up and my parents gave my siblings and I every chance at success. Whether it was ballet, gymnastics or the school football comps – my brother and sister received scholarships to attend a specialist ballet college in Melbourne – we were always well supported by an environment of love. As I grew into adulthood, I found myself in small towns chasing work, playing local footy, engaging in activities that most Australians would perceive as “the norm”. Kick the footy and drink a beer. Work, drink a beer. Most things in small town Tasmania, during the late 90’s/early 2000’s, seemed to have a drink attached to them. I won’t lie to you, I liked it. There is a euphoric feeling of being a young bloke experiencing and experimenting with the feelings – good and bad - associated to alcohol. But as time wore on, it became apparent that what I thought was essential to social connection of the local footy team and the end of day work ritual was becoming an integral part of my lust for life. It became my fuel. Now? It is my demon. I have tried all types of rehabilitation. Spent time in dedicated facilities. Cold turkey. None of them have worked. What I loved about my involvement in the Reclink cricket tournament – played between a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program and a homeless shelter for men - was the fact that for two or three hours per week I was surrounded by positivity. The social inclusion and acceptance of others is so important to the challenges of addiction. My end game is to be free. To have total To help change a life today, visit reclink.org to donate. control. And I work towards that every day. Reclink plays a part in me achieving this and I hope to continue my involvement with its structured sport programs in the future.
