We’re Mark and Liam.
We’re best mates, addicts in recovery, and the founders of WHYSUP – a company that is dedicated to reducing and resolving the devastating impacts that addiction and mental illness has on Individuals, Organisations and Communities.

We met over 20 years ago at school where we remained close friends, and where, despite having plenty of love and opportunity around us, we were each exposed to things that would lead to addictions.

Like most teenagers leaving school though, we grew apart for a time, in pursuit of seemingly different paths.

Years after leaving school, despite appearing to make headway in our adult lives and developing successful careers for ourselves, we had each reached a familiar point in an addicts’ journey: where the physical, mental and emotional impacts of our addictions were too extreme for anyone to tolerate – including our Families, Friends and Workplaces.

By the time we reconnected, we had collectively experienced homelessness, unemployment and extreme danger because of our addictions. And we knew that we had to end the habits that were running our lives or face the unthinkable.
