There isn’t one perfect way to recover, and there’s no set timeline you have to follow.

For some people, recovery might mean stopping completely. For others, it could mean cutting down, taking a break, understanding your triggers, asking for support, or simply starting to do things differently.

Small changes can be big steps. What matters is finding an approach that works for you and your life.

Whatever recovery looks like for you, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Recovery isn’t always a straight line. There might be days when things don’t go how you planned, or you find yourself doing something you were trying to change.

That doesn’t mean you’ve failed. One difficult day doesn’t undo all the progress you’ve already made.

Take a moment, be kind to yourself, think about what happened and what might help next time. Then, when you’re ready, you can start again. 🫶

Recovery looks different for everyone, and there’s no need to do it alone.

Overdose Awareness Day is on the 31st August and we want to share information and advice on synthetic drugs, including nitazenes. Synthetic drugs are unpredictable in strength but may look the same as street drugs you’re used to. They have led to a steep increase in accidental overdoses and deaths.

If you use drugs, to help keep yourself and your friends as safe as possible:

- Try not to use drugs alone – have friends around to keep an eye on you and look out for signs of an overdose.

- Carry naloxone – naloxone can temporarily reverse the side effects of an opioid overdose, including non-opiate drugs that are contaminated.

- Start low go slow – contaminated drugs may look the same as drugs you usually take. Start off with a smaller dose and wait to see the effects before taking more.

- Use one drug at a time – mixing drugs or taking 2 or more drugs together within a short time significantly increases the risks of an overdose.

You can learn more about synthetic drugs on our website:

You can always come and speak to us for more information about staying safe. Drop us a DM if you want to talk.

Do you know the signs of an overdose?

It’s Overdose Awareness Day, and we want to make sure everyone can recognise the signs of an overdose.

Keep an eye out for:

Deep snoring/gurgling noises
You can’t wake the person up, and they don’t respond if you shake their shoulders or call their name
A blue tinge to the lips, nail beds or other extremities
They have stopped breathing

If you think someone has overdosed, call 999 and wait for an ambulance.

You can also give them naloxone, but this will only be effective if they have taken opioids or drugs contaminated with synthetic opioids. If you think someone is overdosing but you aren’t sure what they’ve taken, you can still give them naloxone. It won’t hurt them, and it could help them.

If you’d like a naloxone kit and training on how to use it, drop us a DM or get in touch with your worker
