When will we learn that living a life free from alcohol and drugs isn’t a punishment, it’s simply choosing to live life without any mind altering substances. No poison, no pressure… just a chance to be happy and healthy.

But taking away these substances isn’t always enough. Sometimes we have to look a little deeper and work on what led us there in the first place. As a qualified Counsellor I am available for 1-1 support aswell as drop-in.

Ask yourself when did it stop being fun and start becoming a necessity?

Recovery isn’t just about removing something from our lives, it’s about understanding ourselves, healing and learning healthier ways to cope. That where the real freedom begins. 🥰

County Lines is happening locally.
Please stay alert and look out for signs in your children and young people.

It often starts with gifts or money for " just dropping something off " but children are being exploited and used to transport drugs for immoral drug dealers.

This can affect any family. Keep talking and trust your instincts.

People, places and things.

This simple idea can make all the difference for anyone trying to change their life through abstinence from mind-altering substances.

If you keep going back to the same people and the same places, you increase the risk of going back to the same things that once had a hold on you.

“If you keep visiting the barbershop, eventually you’ll get a haircut.”

The same applies to old environments, including dealers houses. Change sometimes means creating distance, these people are not your friends..they are in business and its costing you everything!

Let’s talk about relapse 🤞

Relapse does not have to be part of recovery. It often begins long before a drink or drug is picked up... it starts with a thought!

That moment, when the idea first enters your mind, is crucial. That’s the point where the seed is planted… and it’s also the point where you can choose to act differently.

Reach out for support. Go to a meeting. Talk to someone who understands what you’re going through. You don’t have to sit with those thoughts alone.

Take a moment to remember your worst days, not to punish yourself..just to remind you why you chose recovery in the first place 🥰
