This Alcohol Awareness Week, Ashley shares how drinking gradually became part of everyday life, leaving her feeling stuck in a cycle she couldn't see a way out of. Now in recovery, she's rediscovered purpose and confidence.
Alcohol doesn't always become a problem overnight. Sometimes it just quietly becomes part of the routine. Does any part of Ashley's story sound familiar?

This Alcohol Awareness Week, we’re sharing Ashlee’s story as part of the theme "Alcohol and Me".
Ashlee didn’t wait for things to reach a crisis point. She noticed early changes in her relationship with alcohol, reflected on how it was affecting her life, and chose to take action. Her experience is a reminder that you don’t have to hit a crisis point to make a change.
If any part of this feels familiar, hit the link below and take a few minutes to read her story. 📖
As always, NRN is here to help if and whenever you need. 💜

It's Alcohol Awareness Week and this years' theme is 'Alcohol and Me'.
This is a moment to reflect on the role alcohol plays in our lives and whether it’s working for us or not. Even small changes, like cutting back or having a few drink-free days, can make a real difference to things like sleep, energy and mental wellbeing.
Our latest blog shares information, advice and support to help you take that first step, whatever that looks like for you. Tap the link in our bio to read more. 👉

We were honoured to host Dame Carol Black and Dr Adrian James at the Wellbeing Hub earlier this week 🌟
It was a valuable opportunity to talk through our co-occurring mental health and substance use pathway, supporting people to address both needs together. With 1 in 5 people in mental health services also facing substance use challenges, this collaborative approach is vital.
This work is only possible through strong partnership working across the city, bringing services together to deliver truly joined-up care 🤝
Thank you to Dame Carol and Dr Adrian for their insight and encouragement of this important work. ... See MoreSee Less
