KickBack Recovery

KickBack Recovery OUR STORY:
My name is Mick Hartley and I'm the founder of KickBack Recovery Community CIO. I'm over ten years abstinent from drugs and alcohol.

Comprehensive Support Services:

• Private 1-1 Clinic
• Recovery Education
• Group Therapy
• Sober Companion Service
• Residential Rehab Referral

Support for individuals & affected families We are a registered charity based in Sheffield and have been running for over nine years. I started using solvents and other mind altering substances from the age of 12 to numb abandonment issues and ofte

n chose to rebel against any authority. With this attitude, I very quickly found myself in and out of the juvenile courts and by the age of 16 I started my first prison sentence. From then on I decided to live a life of crime alongside the use of drugs and alcohol. Over the years to come, I experienced a total of 4 prison sentences. I never felt good enough and was constantly seeking validation which resulted in many failed relationships. . At the age of 27 I was introduced to co***ne which my delusional thinking at the time made me believe I was filling a void but in reality this was the start of my soul being destroyed. Over the next decade I became a self made business man on both sides of the law. I got involved working security on the doors at the bars and nightclubs in the City of Sheffield. Eventually, I ended up with my own successful Bar and Nightclub. My co***ne use grew and addiction set in. Over the years to come I started to lose the things I thought at the time were important - materialistic items, houses, businesses and false friends. Through addiction I gave away my family life to live a life of isolation and using large amounts of Class A drugs often for weeks at time. I would regularly go without sleep, food or bathing for over several days. I constantly experienced drug fuelled psychosis and became very unwell. At the age of 45, when I had been using drugs for over 3 decades, the pain of using became too unbearable. I surrendered myself and arrived at the doors of a 12 Step Rehab - Ark House, where my recovery journey began. In recovery I've experienced lapses and relapses, which I learned from. The last time I used drugs, including alcohol, was over 6 years ago. These days relapse is not an option. Living a life without using drugs and working a recovery program to the best of my ability has given me the freedom to set up my own charity - KickBack Recovery. We are a Lived Experience Recovery Organisation that collaborates with other services, charities, collages and organisations throughout the City of Sheffield. We hold 4 Group Therapy Sessions a week, provide individual support at our Well Being Clinic, hold Fitness Sessions, 1:1 Mentoring, Teaching Educational drug Awareness / Recovery at our meetings and in schools and collages. We organise day events and activities to help raise awareness and promote connection. We offer our services to help people battling Substance Use Disorders and their affected family members. WE CHALLENGE STIGMA. We use social media as a tool to celebrate recovery and make it visible to all that,
RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE! Today I am grateful to be a productive member of society - LIVING MY BEST LIFE.

R.I.P MATT BROWN ABP

Matt regularly commented on our our daily posts and fully supported the important work we do at KickBack Recovery. We was very proud that he was one of our loyal fb followers. ❤️

The death of Matt Brown has shaken fans around the world. For years, viewers watched him grow up on television through Alaskan Bush People, seeing both his adventurous spirit and the personal struggles he openly battled behind the scenes.

Mental health struggles, addiction, grief, loneliness, heartbreak, and emotional pain can create battles that are invisible to everyone else. What may seem confusing from the outside can feel overwhelming to the person experiencing it. Many people who struggle with depression or addiction often carry burdens that friends, family, and even fans never fully see.

In recent years, Matt had spoken publicly about personal challenges, including addiction and recovery. His family has also described years of concern and attempts to help him through difficult periods in his life.

Matt will be truly missed by us all and we will always be forever grateful for his social media contribution to our cause.

Fly High Brother 🙏 ❤️❤️

PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN

So on the 3rd July, We’ll be stepping into a helicopter crash simulator with Neil Firbank from the Recovery Games, a few from KickBack Recovery and others from the recovery community. We will be dropped into 250,000 litres of water, flipped 180°, and have to fight our way out.

And I’m doing this to help raise money for this year’s Recovery Games and help towards making it the best one ever.

We’re aiming to raise our first £5k, and your support can help power the people who make the Games possible. Your donations will directly support the volunteers who make the magic happen:

• £10 donation — fuels one volunteer with food & drinks ☕
• £20 donation — provides a full Warrior Kit (tech shirt, lanyard, safety gear)

If you can sponsor me, even a little, it would mean everything. Ps, don’t forget to leave a message letting me know you have donated

Thank you for your kind donations 🙏❤️

Ps please let me know below if you have donated because sometimes I cannot see who has, and to those that have already donated - thank you 🙏
