So, I put all my effort into … Read more about How Does Diet Culture Affect Women in Recovery?

How to Put Your Sobriety First During a Pandemic

By Renee W. One of the key things we learn in recovery is acceptance. We learn to accept what we cannot change, to change what we can, and the wisdom to know the difference (straight from the Serenity Prayer).

Top 12 Benefits of Living Sober

by Renee W. Early in recovery, it may be hard to think of yourself as completely sober and actually enjoying life.

Mr. P on Alcoholism

Alcoholism is a disease that officially kills around twenty people a day in the UK. But the official figures don't tell the full story.

A Recovery story: Carnival time in Trinidad and Tobago

At the age of 23, the last thing I thought I would be doing is changing my life; I’d thought at my age, there was hardly anything to be changed - I was still in the process of building it!
