1. Oliver Mathenge

Oliver who is a Digital Editor – Radio Africa Group, has not had it easy. He has not only battled alcoholism but has also battled suicidal attempts not once but twice.

In a post titled “Once Upon A Bottle” Oliver wrote

“For two years I struggled with the urge to be high and since I do not do any drugs alcohol was a quick solution.

I had given up on life in a manner that pushed me to escape reality and seek to avoid everyday challenges.

I could not survive a day without alcohol unless I was too hangovered to get out of bed.

In between the day in the office I would go out  to have a few shots of whatever drink I thought my system needed.

The lyrics below from his song, best illustrate what he felt at the time.

I got into so much trouble when the world pushed me into a corner and I felt like suicide was the only option I had.

The God of Abraham however came to me and assured me that he was with me.

Even if people fail me I will not be worried if God is with me.
