Help & Advice

Welcome to our help page.

Taking care of your mental health and wellbeing isn’t always easy and it’s rarely achieved by following a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. We’re all different, and what works for someone else may not work for you.

This is why we share our experiences and knowledge sought from others with you, so you have enough information to be able to explore and find the approach that best suits you.

Please note that this page isn’t designed to treat your addiction or mental health condition but contains advice based on our experiences with addiction and recovery.

For additional support, we have included a list of specialist organisations and useful contacts at the bottom of this page that you can reach out to if you are suffering from a mental illness or need further help with your emotional wellbeing.

Alongside reading about our experiences, please seek the help of a professional if you feel like you’re struggling with your mental health.
