John is 26-years-old and is an alcoholic. He called 5 live and spoke live on air with Leroy, one of the residents at a wet house, which is a residential home for alcoholics.

鈥淵ou wake up in bushes, in other peoples houses, in the cells鈥� it鈥檚 a horrible life,鈥� said John.

Leroy is nearly 49 and has been drinking since he was 12-years-old. He鈥檚 been in and out of prison and is banned from every football ground in the country. Leroy now drinks one can a day and hopes to live more independently soon, alcohol free.

"If I wasn鈥檛 here now I would be in the grave yard with my Mum", he said.
