Cravings can make us feel overwhelmed but in time, they do pass.

Mindfulness can help you notice cravings without acting on them. It trains the brain to observe these urges as temporary passing sensations rather than commanding you to act upon them.

Urge surfing is a technique used In mindfulness to manage cravings and impulsive behaviours

When a craving appears:
• Notice where you feel it in your body
• Breathe slowly
• Remind yourself it will pass
This technique can help reduce the intensity of urges.

On International Women’s Day we celebrate the strong, caring women at SIAS who work together to support those struggling with drugs and alcohol (part of our team pictured at The Newington Centre) ✨ Their compassion, dedication, and teamwork make a real difference to the lives of the people we support in our community ✨ Thank you to every one of you!

We recognise the courage it takes for many women to seek support. Every recovery journey shows that change is possible, and that no woman should face these challenges alone. We are proud to walk alongside the women in our community as they move towards healthier, brighter futures 💜

If you or someone you know needs support please contact us on 0121 301 4141, email enquiries@sias-solihull.org.uk or visit www.sias-solihull.org.uk

Mindfulness Breathing is a great way for you to navigate emotions such as anger or sadness in a emotionally navigated state.

Take 60 seconds to pause.

Breathe in slowly through your nose, out through your mouth.

Notice how your body feels

Small pauses like this can help build emotional resilience over time.

If you would like some support, please call us on 0121 301 4141 and a friendly SPOE (single point of entry) will be able to advice you.

The SIAS team were out and about in Solihull town centre over the weekend and spoke to over 100 people, offering harm reduction advice and sharing information about the support available from SIAS.

The team distributed hundreds of spikeys and cup covers to help keep people safe, and they also engaged with the local clubs and bars and donated additional spikeys to them.

SIAS is committed to engaging with the local community to keep people safe through harm reduction, and this was part of our regular programme of community outreach.

If you or someone you know needs support around drugs or alcohol please contact us on 0121 301 4141, email enquiries@sias-solihull.org.uk or visit www.sias-solihull.org.uk

Addictions can often pull people into the past and into a state of regret or into the future and create worries and anxiety.

Mindfulness journaling improves mental health by reducing anxiety, depression, and stress while boosting self-awareness, emotional regulation, and positivity. By regularly recording thoughts, you create a dedicated space to process emotions, identify triggers, and cultivate gratitude, which leads to better mood management and increased focus

Being Mindful is a great way to bring us back to the present!

01/03/2026

It’s the beginning of Mindful March 2026!

This March, we’re exploring how small mindful moments can make a big difference.

Mindfulness is about being present in the moment - noticing thoughts, feelings and sensations without judgement.

For anyone affected by addiction, mindfulness can help slow things down, reduce overwhelm, and create space to respond rather than react.

🌈 February is LGBT+ History Month. At SIAS We Stand with Our LGBT+ Community 🌈

We recognise that sexuality and gender identity can have a real impact on someone’s relationship with drugs and alcohol. Stigma, discrimination, rejection, or feeling the need to ‘fit in’ can all affect wellbeing, and sometimes substance use can become a way of coping.

You are not alone…..and you deserve support that understands you and your needs.

That’s why we’re proud to be launching new dedicated support groups for our LGBT+ community - safe, confidential spaces where you can speak openly, connect with others who share similar experiences, and access specialist drug and alcohol support without judgement.

Our sessions start on Friday 10th April and will take place every week at 3pm.

We celebrate the strength, resilience, and diversity of the LGBT+ community, not just this month, but every month. If you or someone you know would benefit from tailored support, please get in touch.

Addiction relapses happen because recovery is a long-term process and can often be triggered by stress, people, places, loneliness and anxiety.

Relapse is sometimes viewed as a failure, but it’s part of a recovery journey governed by brain habits, cravings and lack of adequate coping skills.

SIAS is here to support you, if you are someone you know is struggling, please call us on 0121 301 4141. We are here to help.

It’s not your fault

Addiction is classed as a disease not a choice.

Whilst initially early use can be a choice, addiction itself is a progressive disease, that changes the brains chemistry. Parents can’t control it and they can’t change it; an individual must take responsibility for their own actions and choices.

However, no one has to face this alone. If you are affected by someone else’s substance, use and need support, please call SIAS on 0121 301 4141. We are here to listen; support and help you take the next step.
