Mr Nicholas Conn

Nicholas Conn is a former police officer turned addiction recovery advocate, entrepreneur, and author of White Lines and Blue Lights: A True Story of Addiction, Survival and Redemption. Drawing from his own journey — from serving on the front lines of law enforcement to battling cocaine addiction and homelessness — Nick’s writing is as raw as it is inspiring.

After turning his life around, Nick founded Help4Addiction, one of the UK’s leading addiction advisory services, and Rehubs, a pioneering digital rehab platform. His mission is clear: to break the stigma around addiction and offer real, accessible help to those who need it most.

Nick’s work has been featured across national media, and he continues to advise governments, health providers, and private clinics on innovative approaches to addiction recovery. With every word he writes, he aims to shine a light into the darkest corners of addiction — and prove that recovery is always possible.
