Addiction Support

Addiction is defined as not having control over doing, taking or using something to the point where it could be harmful to you.

Addiction is most commonly associated with gambling, drugs, alcohol and smoking, but it’s possible to be addicted to just about anything, including:

  • work
  • internet 
  • solvents 
  • shopping

Millions of men and women have heard or read about the unique Fellowship called Alcoholics Anonymous since its founding in 1935. Of these, more than 2 million now call themselves members.

FRANK

FRANK is a national anti-drug advisory service jointly established by the Department of Health and Home Office of the British government in 2003. It is intended to reduce the use of both legal and illegal drugs by educating teenagers and adolescents about the potential effects of drugs. It has run many media campaigns on television, radio, and the internet.

Sex Addicts Anonymous

Our primary purpose is to stop our addictive sexual behaviour and to help others recover from sexual addiction. Recovery was possible for most of us only when we accepted the fact that we were powerless over our addictive sexual behaviour and that we were incapable of changing without help from outside ourselves.

Relate

Sexual addiction is the term used to describe any sexual activity that feels ‘out of control’. Having a very high sex drive does not make you a sex ‘addict’. Neither does engaging in specific sexual activities, having many partners, looking at porn or engaging in cyber-sex. At Relate, we think that none of these are relevant unless you do. What is relevant is if someone feels that they are engaging in any sexual activity that they can no longer control and is likely to result in harm to themselves, a partner or partners, or to family and friends.

Young people and vaping

Nicotine vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking – however, it is not risk-free. Vaping is not for children and young people, whose developing lungs and brains are more sensitive to its effects.

It’s important for young people to know the facts about vaping so they can make an informed choice. 

Space 4 U

We support 5 to 18-year-olds who are affected by someone else’s alcohol
