A FREE Resource for Those Who Need It

Request a Professional Copy

METASTABLE provides complimentary PDF copies to verified professionals working in mental health, addiction, gambling harm and related areas.

To request a copy, please register using your official professional email address. We may verify your organisation and professional role before approving a request.

Complimentary copies are intended for professional use and to be provided to individuals where the professional believes the resource may be appropriate and beneficial.

One of the core aims of METASTABLE is to make this story accessible to people who may genuinely benefit from it.

This book was written from lived experience, but its purpose extends beyond simply telling one person's story. We want it to become a resource that can help open conversations around addiction, mental health, gambling, the impact on those around us, and the possibility of hope when life feels at its darkest.

To honour that purpose, METASTABLE will offer free copies of the book to professionals who work with people experiencing mental-health or addiction-related difficulties.

If you are a mental-health professional, addiction worker, counsellor, support worker or another professional working directly with people who may benefit from the story, you can register using your official work email address. We will then be in contact to arrange a complimentary copy for you to provide to a client where you feel the book may be appropriate and helpful.

We recognise that one story cannot represent everyone's experience, and this book is not intended to replace professional support, treatment or clinical guidance. Its purpose is to provide insight, encourage conversation and, perhaps, help someone feel a little less alone.

Ultimately, the goal is simple: if this book reaches one person at the right moment and helps them choose another day, another conversation or another step towards support, it will have achieved something that matters.

One life saved would be the ultimate measure of what METASTABLE can mean.

If you are a professional and believe this resource could benefit someone you support, we want to make it available to you.
