With this story, " It started with a cup of coffee" I aim to help those who are suffering, not just in relation to addiction but also mental health. As writers it is our job to use our words to inspire and help others. By writing about topics such as addiction and mental health, it creates better understanding and awareness. It also helps people to heal. That is what I hope to achieve through this story and my words. The suffering of others influences me, the suffering the world may not see, to give them words to relate to.
