April is both Stress Awareness Month and Alcohol Awareness Month, and the two are more connected than we realise.

After a long day at work or caring for others, it can be easy to reach for a drink to unwind. But over time, alcohol can make stress harder to manage.

Simple alternatives like breathing exercises, gentle movement, or quiet time can help you reset.

If you’re finding it tough to relax or feel like you can't switch off without alcohol, you’re not alone. Support is available, and talking to someone can make a big difference. Check the comments to find out more about our support and resources. 💙

This Mother’s Day (15 March), we’re honouring the woman whose love and loss launched WithYou.

Our work is built on the story of Mollie Craven, who lost her son to he**in in 1967. In an article in The Guardian that year, she called for parents and friends of people facing challenges with drugs or alcohol to come together – to share, to learn and to find support.

Her message was simple: help one another.

This weekend, we’re thinking of every mum navigating the impact of drugs or alcohol – whether you’re supporting someone, grieving, or struggling yourself. Like Mollie in 1967, we continue to lead with empathy, compassion and understanding.

If this weekend feels difficult, you don’t have to face it alone.

💬You can chat to a trained recovery worker through WithYou webchat. More information in the comments.

Meet Chloe 👋

When Chloe started her recovery journey, she made a promise to herself: learn something new every month. Now aged 24 and 28 months into recovery, Chloe performed on stage at her local panto, and started her own craft business - both things she thought were never possible.

After years of alcohol dependency, hospitalisations and feeling like she didn’t belong, Chloe finally found support and community through WithYou. As a neurodivergent woman, having a space where she felt accepted and truly supported made all the difference.

"I wouldn't have been able to do this if it wasn’t for the people at WithYou."

Chloe’s story reminds us that recovery can mean giving yourself the time and space to find purpose and discover who you are.

That’s why we’re proud to be Bird & Blend Tea Co. 's ChariTEA of the quarter. From January to March, every cup of Duvet Day tea sold online supports people like Chloe - reminding us that slowing down and focusing on rest and recovery can bring positive change.

Together, we’re stepping closer to a future free from harm by drugs, alcohol and mental health challenges. ☕💙

Over the past few months, we've been listening to our teams across Scotland and to the people we support.
We've looked at what's working in drug and alcohol support and where we need to build.
This includes making sure people can get the right help, in the right place, at the right time, and are always treated with dignity and respect.
From those conversations, we've set out six priorities for the next Scottish Government.
