Adam & Bibba
United Kingdom
Приєднався 10 чер 2019
This is our story about how we deal with living our life of recovery. We are Adam and Bibba. We live in a timber cabin on the cliffs of Cornwall, UK with our two children, Tamani and Pablo.
We are driven to help families, like ours, who face the same daily struggles to step outside that box, do things differently for themselves and create a sense of freedom. When we say, the same daily struggles, let's get to the point. Addiction.
Addiction has followed us around for about 15 years now. It didn’t take long for the alcohol to find it’s way into our entire lives and we were submersed in it. No matter how hard we try to stop it, addiction affects the whole family.
Living with addiction is something we do everyday, it will never go away. Living a serene lifestyle is not just a dream for us, it’s a necessity. Without this serenity, life is chaotic, dramatic and unmanageable.
We hope to inspire families who face addiction to define their own path so that addiction doesn’t define them.

Traumatised on the Quad!! He'll never forgive us! 🤦♀️ 🤦🏼♂️
Sunday shenanigans from the the cliffs of West Cornwall. Living the way we do, summer and dry weather is our time to get out and have some fun. It may not be warm at the moment but it was a day to try out some new additions to the family. They may seem like Adam's toys, but they do have a somewhat practical aspect to them for working around the campsite in the summer and the Scooter is for zipping around checking on campers...Honest!! 😉

Understanding addiction - Can we cause, control or cure it?
Переглядів 983 роки тому
In this video we discuss the fundamental insight that helped Bibba understand the addiction. Commonly known as The 3 C's...we didn't cause the addiction, we can't control the addiction and we cannot cure the addiction, no matter how hard we try. This video will be helpful for family members to help understand what we can do to help and what we should not do to help! I hope that you find it usef...
Boys and their toys...

So Adam's new toy finally arrived. He likes to tinker with things and figure out how they work or not when he puts them back together, such was the case with his old quad!! Anyway, that aside the new one arrived after a few months of waiting and this is a quick edit of him putting it together (minus instructions...) and also he touches on addiction, his recent relapse and his state of mind movi...
We hit rock bottom...

Sharing our lives on social platforms is scary. This one in particular. It’s taken many days of procrastination before I have been ready to post it. I am still not really ready but having just watched a Brené Brown film about choosing courage over comfort, here I am. Courage is not possible without vulnerability. Being able to support others who face the same struggles as us cannot happen witho...
A humpback whale in Cornwall? Surely not!

Starting the New Year with a traditional family walk, we decided to head over to Porthgwarra, near Lands End, as there had been recent sightings of the local humpback whale. The beautiful scenery is dramatic and breathtaking as we take you with us on our whale stalking mission.
We made it through Christmas Day, and even had some fun!

Progress, not perfection. It's Boxing Day. We made it through Christmas Day! It was well planned out and we tried to anticipate the common triggers for this particular day. It's not always possible to anticipate all the triggers but as Christmas Day is such a poignant day, we know when the most difficult periods of the day are.
As an addict, is it OK to buy alcohol for someone else?
Переглядів 1464 роки тому
Our Christmas journey continues following Adam's relapse during lockdown 2020. Christmas time is a very difficult time for addicts. There is alcohol everywhere, it's advertised on the TV, offers in the supermarkets and social situations are the norm so for an addict, it reminds them constantly of what they cannot do. So when Adam decides that it would be nice to buy alcohol for Bibba, she takes...

We got up early and went for a paddle from the beach at the bottom of our Farm. Unfortunately we didn't capture the moment one of our dogs decided to jump overboard but we did capture the rescue!

Hilarious🤣 That‘s real life🤩!!
Such a hard time at that stage. Good on ya Ads, keep pushing through.
❤️🙏
What a share!!! Guys, you are absolutely amazing, I have a pleasure to get to meet you in person and always been a huge fan of how funny and great couple you are. finding out that there was so much more behind the scenes made me admire you even more, and sharing your story just so you can help others to overcome their obstacles is just absolutely astonishing. Thankfully alcohol is not in my family anymore, but it was for the whole of my childhood and I must say the courage you have stepping out and sharing the story is unbelievable and I truly admire that!!!! Love you guys! Keep going. Ps. It doesn't surprise me that even watching such a serious video I am giggling here and there. You are one of a kind!!! Love, Monika Mak
Thank you so much Monika. Your support is really appreciated, and we are so glad that you were giggling too, that is our intention, finding joy is the most important thing and we are so happy that it wasn't too serious! Bibba xx
I believe a channel with your Humor Adam would provide real belly laughs.😂 You two are amazing, and your videos and energy give me a lot of strengths. Thank´s you two.🥰
Thank you Jacqueline 🥰
You guys are incredible xxx

Thanks Lucy xxx
What a powerful video! I’m sure there are so many people going through this, especially after and during lockdown. Wonderful you’re able to share your story, thank you 🙏
Thank you Sian xx
Just had to pop in and watch this again... very moving....
Now that was very relaxing to watch and I loved the music. You folks have what I wish I could have had. Please keep posting.
Thank you! Will do!
Beautiful family, funny and such amazing dancers. I have subscribed and look forward to every new video.. the longer they are the better. Cheers Craig
WOW!! Today is Sunday and it was just last night that your ad found its way on my screen. A family talking about freedom captivated me and now here I am. Your videos are so well put together and are so enjoyable to watch and I find myself relaxed and free. Now I discover that at least one member of the family can sing.. what about the rest of the family? Please start and end every video with you playing and singing... please, please, please. All the best.. Craig
Well that was very enjoyable and relaxing to watch. A beautiful grounded family. Just one negative.. the quality of the video was very poor. I don't know what camera you are using but maybe upgrade so the videos are sharper and clear. Thanks for uploading and please keep posting. Craig from Australia
Talented!! x
"I'm half naked coz I can" brilliant! And that guitar and singing, you keeped that quite. When I drag my family down to your campsite you best be getting that guitar out!!!
