πŸ’™MEET THE TEAM - BURTONπŸ’™

β€œMy name is Simon, and I spent 32 years living in addiction.

For so many years, I couldn’t see a way out of heavy drug use. Addiction had taken so much from me, leaving me feeling broken, hopeless and unable to imagine a life without drugs.

When I was finally offered the opportunity to go into rehabilitation, I grabbed it with both hands. I knew something had to change.

During rehab, alongside trauma therapy, I was told that recovery would mean changing everything, my surroundings, the people I spent time with and the way I lived my life.

So, after completing rehab, I made the decision to relocate to Burton and give myself a fresh start.

As I began to find freedom from addiction, I discovered Better Way Recovery, a place where people come together to support one another and build better lives.

Today, I’m proud to work at Better Way Recovery, supporting others who are facing the same struggles I once faced.

After 32 years in addiction, I know just how difficult it can be to find a way out. But I also know that recovery is possible.

I believe passionately that everyone deserves a chance at a better life, regardless of their past.

That’s why I do what I do. That’s why I work at Better Way Recovery. πŸ’™

πŸŽ‰ CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR LATEST WE PROGRAMME GRADUATES! πŸŽ‰

A huge congratulations to everyone who has completed our latest WE Programme! πŸ’™πŸ‘

This programme asks a lot of the people who take part. Over 12 weeks, our recovery seekers are encouraged to dig deep, be honest with themselves, explore their addiction on a much deeper level and begin to understand the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that can sit behind it.

The WE Programme is an abstinence-based recovery programme, designed not only to help people understand their addiction, but to build practical tools, coping strategies and self-awareness that can support them as they move forward in their recovery.

Completing the programme takes commitment, courage and a willingness to challenge yourself, and we are incredibly proud of every single person who has reached this milestone. πŸ’ͺ

You’ve done the work, faced some difficult conversations and shown just how much can change when you keep showing up for yourself.

Well done to every one of our graduates, you should be incredibly proud of how far you’ve come. πŸ’™

πŸ’œ A beautiful and powerful Service of Remembrance & Hope πŸ’œ

As part of National Recovery Month, our friends at Chase Recovery will be holding a very special Service of Remembrance & Hope at St Luke’s Church in Cannock.

A time to come together to remember those whose lives have been lost to addiction, to hold their families and loved ones in our thoughts, and to celebrate the hope, strength and possibility that recovery brings. πŸ•―οΈ

It promises to be an incredibly moving service, and everyone is welcome to attend.

A huge thank you and well done to everyone from the Better Way Recovery team who took part in the Annual Memorial Cup! πŸ’™

What a fantastic way to kick off Recovery Month, brilliant effort, great teamwork, plenty of laughs and, most importantly, bringing people together to celebrate recovery and everything it represents. πŸ’ͺπŸ’™

And we even came away with a trophy! πŸ†πŸ‘ Not bad at all!

We’re incredibly proud of everyone who got involved, whether you were on the pitch, cheering from the sidelines or helping make the day happen.

Recovery is about so much more than stopping β€” it’s about connection, community, friendship and building a life worth living.
