Aiseiri

Aiseiri Aiséirí is a nonprofit organisation that helps youths, adults and families to overcome addiction.

At the heart of Aiséirí are the lives and futures of people, young people, women, middle-aged men, fathers, brothers, sisters, uncles, nieces, nephews and friends. Ordinary people, people that you and I know, people who want to work, want to go to school, want to hope, want to care for their families and be cared for. The one thing that distinguishes them is that they are living with the despair and unhappiness of addiction. Aiséiri is a place where there is a wealth of understanding, care and experience, right here in the community, that can help them take the first vital step to recovery from their addiction. Airéirí means resurrection and our four centres are places of new beginnings. Through our evidence-based and internationally recognised residential and community programmes, people dealing with alcohol, drug and gambling addiction find help, counselling and the specialist support that they need to face the realities of their lives. Our specialist and caring staff create an environment that is therapeutic in all aspects, where each person feels valued, safe and supported as they make their journey towards recovery and new life changes.

After the joy and laughter of our Christmas lunch, Aiseiri settled back into its natural rhythm last night.
Calm. Peaceful. Serene.
The stillness outside was simply beautiful — a gentle reminder of the quiet magic this place holds.

Active Connections with the Céim Eile Men’s Group

The Céim Eile men’s group recently took part in an Active Connections CLG outdoor activity that had everyone fully getting stuck in — kayaking, swimming, and taking on the challenge together.
The experience pushed the men both physically and mentally, encouraging them to step outside their comfort zones while supporting one another every step of the way. From getting into the water to working as a team, the day highlighted resilience, trust, and the power of shared effort.
With guidance from experienced instructors, the group showed great determination and positivity, building confidence and strengthening connections through activity and teamwork.
A really strong example of how Active Connections CLG creates opportunities for growth, wellbeing, and positive change through shared experiences.

Great symphonies begin with just one note.
Priscilla Young Pratt

Sometimes it's really hard to get going. We put off things we don't want to do, or are afraid to try. We occasionally feel overwhelmed by the size of a job to be done like cleaning out the spare room or reading a long book for a class.

But think a minute. If Beethoven had thought about how complicated it was to write his Ninth Symphony, with all those instruments and voices and notes to blend together, do we really think he would ever have started? But he didn't get overwhelmed. He sat down and wrote just one small note, and then another, and a third. It took him months, but writing one note led to a second, and, one note at a time, he completed it.

We begin the same way with whatever tasks we have ahead of us. Each tiny bit of progress helps us go on to the next part. We begin by reading one page of that book, or taking one box of junk from the cellar. That's all we have to do. The rest will follow almost on its own. The trick is to begin.

What needs to be done today, and how do I start?

🌿 Saint Francis de Sales – A Lesson in Patience 🌿

One night, Sandra was having trouble putting a puzzle together. Frustrated, she pushed all the pieces into a big pile.

“I can’t do this,” she said, dropping onto the couch.

Her dad sat beside her and gently said,
“Let me tell you a story. There was a young girl who helped her father care for her baby sister. Over and over again, she patiently helped her little sister stand and try to walk. One day, that same girl tried to put together a puzzle—but she gave up after only a few attempts. She had forgotten how many times she helped her sister fall and try again.”

So often, we are like Sandra.

We forget that growth is built on many small failures, lessons learned through patience and perseverance. Saint Francis de Sales reminds us that gentleness with ourselves is just as important as gentleness with others. When we allow ourselves to be patient, we open the door to new possibilities and deeper trust in God’s work within us.

Life has been patient with us so far.
Now it’s our turn.

✨ What have I failed at that I can try again today? ✨

More about Triggers

I used to think that being able to avoid my triggers would be an indicator of successful recovery. I have since learned that true healing is more about recognizing my triggers, moving through them, and ending up with a different outcome. For example, I still get triggered when I think that somebody is angry with me. In the past, I would just tell myself that I'm not responsible for other people's feelings and that I should move on. The first part of that last sentence is true. But I rarely was able to ignore other people's anger and move on. Today, when I feel, suspect, or know that someone is angry with me, I work through it. I start by pondering whether I have done something that deserved their anger, and if the answer is yes, I try to correct or make amends for it. But as importantly or even more importantly I have a little chat with my inner child and remind her that people can get angry with me, and it doesn't mean they will abandon me. I tell myself that over and over until it feels true. And then I can move on.

Triggers lose power when we work through them.

🌅 Thought for the Day 🌅

There was a time when many of us believed our drinking fellowship was real connection—something solid, something meaningful. But looking back, we see it for what it truly was: a substitute for something better.

That kind of fellowship rested on shaky ground. It was often more about using each other for comfort or escape rather than building genuine bonds. Alcohol dulled the higher parts of our minds and hearts, keeping our relationships on the surface instead of allowing them to grow deeper.

The world has long praised the “cup that cheers,” but today we know a more honest truth: real fellowship is built on clarity, trust, and shared purpose—not on a drink.

✨ Do I see my old drinking fellowship in its proper light?
✨ Am I choosing relationships today that lift me higher rather than pull me down?

Wishing you a day filled with clarity, connection, and true companionship. 💛

To Mary, who always made me feel like I belonged.
To Mary (yes, another wonderful Mary!) who I could chat with all day.
To Mary & Siobhán from cleaning — always cheerful and ready for a laugh.
