A man from Sheffield has created an app to support people who are struggling with addiction and recovery. The app, Meet4acoffee was designed by 31-year-old Samuel Bennett, after he struggled due to a lack of support during his own recovery from alcoholism. He said: “When I was trying to get clean I really wanted support and it wasn't there.” Samuel’s alcohol abuse started at age 13. He said: “My mother said I was an alcoholic at 14, I was in rehab on my 18th birthday and I’ve been homeless as well.” He added: “I’ve been through hell and back…I’ve lost friends, family, loved ones even children.”
