Michael Nicholson says recovering from his cocaine addiction is the best thing he has ever done.

A former alcohol addict spoke out as a survey is launched to help others connect with support services.

Experts say the “modest reduction” is “not cause for complacency”, with calls to redouble efforts to slash deaths further.
