A man who has been sober for 10 years after dealing with addiction and alcoholism said "fishing has always been my escape".
Ben English, 39, from Thurleigh, Bedfordshire, started Recovery Rods six months ago to help others in his position and for anyone suffering from mental health issues. |

With his fiancee Nikki, 36, he hopes to turn the self-funded group into a registered charity.
He said his "lived experience" had allowed him to connect with those struggling "on a deeper level". |
