Recovery Breakfast Social – Saturday, 13 September

We kicked off the morning outdoors—chopping, frying, brewing tea, and setting up. The smell of coffee hung in the air, laughter bounced between conversations, and everyone had a hand in making it happen. It was easy, light, and full of connection.

After breakfast, we took to the trail through the World’s View forests. No rush, no pressure—just a steady walk, fresh air, and good company. Some walked and talked, others took in the quiet. It was a chance to move, breathe, and be together outside the usual rhythm.

This morning reminded us: recovery can be joyful. It can be shared. It can be simple—just people showing up, making food, and walking side by side. 💚

Don't miss out on our next social!

For every person caught in addiction, up to 72 other people are affected or impacted by that 1 persons addiction.

Addictions impacts families and loved ones:

❖ Addiction places immense stress on supporters/loved ones, causing them to experience various degrees of unmanageability in their own lives.
❖ Supporters adopt maladaptive coping mechanisms of their own and end up
becoming an integral part of the disordered system.
❖ Supporters require their own program of recovery to heal from trauma and to
free themselves from self-defeating behaviors such as co-dependency, reactivity,
self-neglect and enabling.

✔️Yes?
✔️Then we encourage you to write and share your life story.
✔️ A life story is just what it sounds like – it is an account of your life so far, from your own perspective.
✔️Although the task of writing and sharing your life story may seem daunting at first, it is a pivotal exercise to complete.

✔️A life story has been shown to be a critical therapeutic tool from which profound insight, healing, and growth is gained.
✔️Exploring your life’s experiences in a meaningful way is an opportunity to understand yourself better and to make sense of what has happended in your life.
✔️Because of the revelation that a life story brings, this task often serves as a watershed experience that lays the foundation for lasting personal transformation.

Join me online for a free Life Story group on 11 and 18 August 2025.

The drama triangle is a toxic place.
Don't play the game!
Which role do you normally play?

All roles have these things in common :
- all 3 are caught up in blame
- all 3 have poor or no boundaries
- all 3 cause pain
- all 3 refuse to take personal responsibility
- all 3 operate from a place of shame and cause shame

Attending a recovery group is a great way to learn how to break the cycle and step out of chaos into clarity and freedom.

On the 7th of June, we hosted an Addiction Recovery Workshop at One Life, Worlds View.
The workshop was attended by professionals, those seeking recovery, family members and supporters.

It was a fruitful time of equipping, networking and creating more awareness about the extent of the addiction situation in our community as well as how we help in the outpatient space.

Most significant was the impact the material had on supporters and the awareness that supporters need recovery too.
Supporters/loved ones require their own program of recovery to heal from trauma and pain and to free themselves from self-defeating, dysfunctional patterns of behaviour.

If you missed this workshop, watch this space for details of the next workshop.

Reach out to us today if you or your loved one need help and support in navigating the journey of recovery.

Today we pause to honour young people who are rising—not just in visibility, but in voice.

To the youth who chooses growth over numbness, truth over silence, and purpose over pain—know this:
You are not a statistic. You are not a mistake.
You are a builder. A transformer. A seed of healing planted in soil that once held sorrow.

In recovery, your choice to feel, to fight, and to forgive becomes a radical act of resistance—against generational wounds, against silence, against despair.

And every step you take is more than survival.
It is reconstruction.
Of families. Of futures. Of the world itself.

On this day, we don’t just celebrate youth—we recognise their power.
We see you. We honour you. We walk with you. 💪

Enabling behaviours are dysfunctional as they are more concerned with preserving the relationship than promoting genuine life-saving change. This permits and supports the continuing cycle of harmful addictive attitudes and behaviours.

Nightfam! That "safer alternative" to smoking? Scientists have finally CONFIRMED what many feared - va**ng can permanently scar your lungs in MONTHS, not years.

The research is clear: e-cigarettes are damaging tiny airways in your lungs, creating the same irreversible "popcorn lung" condition once only seen in factory workers.

What's terrifying is how QUICKLY this happens: Your first symptoms? Just a persistent cough. Then shortness of breath that gets worse. Finally, permanent scarring that NEVER heals.
And that fruity flavor you love? Those are the same chemicals causing the damage.

The most heartbreaking part? Doctors are now seeing teenagers with lung damage they'd normally only find in 70-year-olds.

So let me ask you this: Is va**ng really worth a lifetime of struggling to breathe?

Tag someone who needs to see this. It might just save their life.
