I feel equipped to live with life on life's terms

"I feel equipped to live with life on life's terms"

About: One Recovery Bucks

(as a service user),

So my experience at ORB has given me life!   Or the life I always wanted away from addiction.   My keyworker Jasmine has been my lifeline, she has made me understand that addiction is difficult and a forever thing.   However to love yourself and find something and no one elses (an activity) is essential to recovery.   I love her and feel mentally equipped to live with life on lifes terms with a substance.   Here at ORB the activities they put on have given me something of interest.   As for my spirit and physical health, I have enjoyed Raki healing and the cookouts especially have helped because it's an organised group, it gets like minded people together to work towards physical and mental health.   If that wasn't available I don't know if I could have found my passion.   I hope it continues as I know with everything it is down to money.   More hobbies would be fab for recovery!

Thank you for taking the time to give us your valuable experience of using our service. It's great to hear how well you have clicked with Jasmin your keyworker, we know how important the professional keyworker relationship is supporting people to build up self efficacy and self confidence. I will ensure she hears your feedback. It is fantastic to hear you've started to think and build long term strategies into your personal recovery.

It's great to hear you have been accessing our recovery network alongside your key work sessions, we do aim to promote holistic health and wellbeing recovery as this is essential to long term sustainable recovery from substances. I will let Lewis at Phoenix Lifestyles know how much his sessions with you and the group are helping with your physical and mental health.

Continue accessing all you find useful, and rebuilding the life you have always wanted. Well done and all the best with your recovery.

Kind Regards

Tracy
