October is often a time when people reflect on their habits and wellbeing, and for some, that includes thinking about their relationship with alcohol.

We run three Alcohol Abstinence mutual aid groups, offering a welcoming, non-judgemental space where people can share experiences, support one another and build confidence in recovery.

Whether you're newly sober or maintaining long-term abstinence, you'll find understanding, encouragement and connection with others who truly get it.

Recovery doesn't have to be done alone. Join us in Wakefield or Castleford and take your next step forward.

Important: If you are physically dependent on alcohol, do not stop drinking suddenly without seeking medical advice, as this can be dangerous.

We hope to see you there.

On Monday, Jill and Jaymie from The Optima Collective CIC hosted the first Find Your Voice session at Socialicious, and what a lovely afternoon it was!

The session focused on creativity, mindfulness and self-expression, with a range of activities designed to help us slow down, connect and be present in the moment. We spent time drawing freely on paper without looking at what we were creating, enjoying gentle movement to calming music, chatting with one another, sipping tea and enjoying cookies.

We also created self-portraits and took part in an exercise using our non-dominant hand to draw. This encouraged us to focus on just one thing, let go of perfection, and really stay present in the moment.

A huge thank you to Jill and Jaymie for such a welcoming and thought-provoking first session. We can't wait to see what the next few weeks bring!

πŸ“… Find Your Voice runs every Monday until 2nd November
⏰ 1.30–3pm
πŸ“ Socialicious, 1A Westmorland Street, Wakefield
πŸ’› FREE – open to anyone 18+
It’s not too late to join us. Just come as you are.

Sometimes getting out of the house and trying something new can be a small step that makes a difference. πŸ’›

Thinking about cutting back on alcohol this month?
For many people, October is a chance to pause and reflect on their relationship with alcohol.

Whether you're thinking about cutting down or concerned about someone you care about, we're here to listen and help. You don't have to hit rock bottom to ask for support.

And remember, If you're making changes, start small, be kind to yourself, and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Lasting change takes time, and every positive step counts.

⚠️ Please note: If you are dependent on alcohol, reducing or stopping alcohol suddenly can be dangerous. Seek medical advice before making any changes to your drinking.

πŸ’™ If you'd like support, advice, or simply someone to talk to, we're here to help.

Reach out and get support when you are ready.

Yesterday was the last day of Recovery Month and what a lovely day it was!

We hosted our final Recovery Month sofa sessions and had, as always, some amazing conversations.

We also held our Art Exhibition at Socialicious, showcasing the wonderful artwork created by people in recovery through our Art Group.

And finally, a few of the Turning Point Inspiring Recovery team and Peer Mentors headed out into the Yorkshire Dales to take on Whernside, one of Yorkshire's Three Peaks!

It was a struggle, but just like recovery, there were challenges along the way. By supporting each other, keeping going and taking it one step at a time, we achieved something we're all proud of. πŸ’œ

A huge thank you to everyone who has taken part in Recovery Month. It's been a month full of connection, creativity, challenge and celebration, and we've loved being part of it.
