Yes.

I’m a recovering alcoholic

Yes.

I tried to kill myself once

Yes.

I’m a doctor.

Yes, addiction and depression can torment anyone.

And Hell Yes, I talk openly about it

Because Stigma and Shame have no place in my life.

Stoke Recovery Service held the annual football tournament at the weekend Stoke City FC local services and service users came together to raise awareness of recovery and addiction! #recoverymonth2019 Stoke-on-Trent CDAS @PHE_uk Stoke-on-Trent CC Brighter Futures YMCA North Staffordshire

Lisa from Stoke Recovery told us why she is taking part in fitness sessions being provided by Dimensions Leisure Centre in partnership with SRS which is part of the Stoke-on-Trent Community Drug & Alcohol Service, funded by Stoke-on-Trent CC (SCDAS). 🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♀️

Well done to Laura who set up a raffle with prizes donated from local businesses to raise money for @swannbankchurch who sadly had funds stolen, she with other Stoke Recovery service users raised £61 which will help towards funding Christmas Dinner for vulnerable people in S-o-T

And beautiful pieces they are too! What a fabulous initiative this has been so far. Some great outcomes for local people. Whenever I speak to participants about it all I hear are positive things. #clayasrecovery #ABCD Stoke-on-Trent CDAS Healthy SoT Stoke Recovery

It was great to celebrate the work of artists from the #ReCastBCB clay group at Stoke Recovery with our community and health partners.
We couldn’t deliver this project without funding from Stoke-on-Trent CC and support from Stoke Recovery
