Every weekend at Castle Craig, we head outside for a 90-minute walk together. We used to climb the local hills, but have now introduced forest walks. Groups follow ‘Fire Road’ through the forest, cross open fields, and gather by the pond with a view across the valley.

Nature offers its own kind of support, and a chance to pause and soak in the simple joys of life. How does nature play a part in your own recovery?

Dependence on codeine can happen even if it’s only ever been used as prescribed.

Sometimes, codeine use goes beyond what was intended – even with a prescription.

If you’re ready to stop and need support, Castle Craig can help. Read more via the link in the comments.

Dr Peter McCann, Consultant Psychiatrist at Castle Craig:
"Alcohol acts on a much wider range of receptors – including glutamate and GABA – which is why it has sedating effects. [...] alcohol addiction often develops more slowly, even though it can be just as destructive once established."

Alcohol affects the body in ways that aren’t always visible, which is why alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous without medical supervision.

At Castle Craig, detox is monitored from the moment of admission, with medication adjusted daily to match each person’s withdrawal symptoms.

If drinking has become a problem for you or someone you know, don’t go through detox alone.

***Post Update***

Thank you so much to everyone who got in touch about the BBC interview. We've been really touched by the number of people who've offered to share their personal stories of recovery.

We'd like to let you know that we're not able to take any more names for this interview. So if you haven't got in touch with us already, we aren't able to include you this time. We're getting in touch with everyone who has already messaged now. If you don't hear from us, please know it's only because so many of you came forward. And we're thankful to you all for your response and for being part of this amazing recovery community.

If we haven't got in touch this time (and you haven't messaged us yet), but you'd still like to share your story with us, just send us a private message, and we'll get back to you.

Thanks from the Communications team.

The BBC has contacted the team to find people in recovery from drug addiction who would be willing to be interviewed about their experiences. We are sharing this opportunity with our alumni community.

The interview will last around 15 to 20 minutes and is likely to take place over Zoom. The BBC can record audio only if preferred to preserve anonymity.

If you would like to register your interest, please send us a private message on Facebook. A member of our team will then be in touch to explain the process and connect you with their representative should you wish to go ahead.

We recognise that this is a sensitive and personal subject. Taking part is entirely voluntary, and we only encourage you to get in touch if you feel comfortable sharing your story.

"They make it seem harmless."

A recent study of women aged 18–40 asked how the gambling industry specifically tries to reach them.

The participants we’re able to name the tactics clearly, and describe them as deliberately designed to make gambling feel normal, relatable, and risk-free.

If you know someone who would benefit from understanding how gambling marketing can target women specifically, please feel free to share.

People drink for many reasons. Some say alcohol helped them make friends or feel more confident, especially after moving away for college or university.

Specialist Therapist Ross McLeod often hears younger people say, “I thought everybody drank the way I did,” and many worry about what their social lives will look like without alcohol. But sobriety can change relationships for the better - both with others and with themselves.
