Jon is a 46 year old recovering alcoholic on his third attempt at sobriety. On a trip down memory lane (“things I ‘d like to forget though” according to Jon) He takes us back where it all began in his home town of Dunstable, Bedforshire to his parents home in Port Talbot, South Wales,via rehab in Somerset.
I met his family, his friends and those who had helped him on his journey to recovery but also the ones that’s have not changed. Jon has lived in university for the last year undertaking a BA in welfare and youth justice. He came across a lot of obstacles in his path and now, he is moving back to his parents house.
No alcoholic’s path is the same or end’s up with a recovery. There are two outcomes, you either recover, or die.
I photographed the ‘facades’ of the residences and places he went to in the past. Looking at his lifes and memories as an outsider. I asked him to comment on the photographs as captions. My intentions were, as he is starting his detox once again, to remind him of his past and to prepare him for his future. A visual and written therapy.
