Kennedy Street Recovery is a recovery-focused charity, with a mission to create a sustainable, visible recovery community that promotes inclusiveness and combats stigma through community integration. Our purpose is to promote recovery from addiction; improve health and well-being and encourage social inclusion, through education, training and personal development.
Every week we dive deeper into the world of recovery, what it looks like, what it feels like and its far-reaching impact on many facets of society.

On this weeks #RecoveryTalks (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/recoverytalks) we have two members of #Alanon (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/alanon) who volunteer as sponsors in #Alateen (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/alateen) meetings.
Alateen is for teenage relatives and friends of alcoholics. Alateen is part of Al-Anon.
Alateen facilitate meetings for 12-17 year olds. They meet to share their experiences of having, or having had, a problem drinker in their lives. They help and support each other.
By attending meetings, young people gain an understanding of the illness and feel the benefits of realising they are not alone. They learn that they did not cause this problem and that they are not responsible for their relative’s or friend’s drinking or behaviour.
By sharing their experiences, they find solutions to their problems and hope for the future.

Recovery Talks: Cafe Sobar S01 E30
The manager of cafe sobar, Jason Loftus, has been running this CiC for seven years, and along with the cafe runs several creative projects within it. Cafe sobar is under the umbrella of #DoubleImpactNottingham (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/doubleimpactnottingham) previously on #RecoveryTalks (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/recoverytalks)
#CafeSobar (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cafesobar) has poetry groups, music groups, and other creative meetings. Before lockdown #CafeSobar (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cafesobar) was doing music shows and poetry readings where performers were almost all in #Recovery (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/recovery). The cafe was used very much as a community hub for people to go for help with their recovery.
Jason is passionate about getting through the layer of addiction to the creativity within each person, that has maybe been put aside for their #Addiction (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/addiction). He wants to create a safe space for creativity for those in recovery and wants them pursue these dreams and facilitates this, with poetry and music and other creative arts.
Service user Grzegorz (happy to be called Greg). He stated his life was saved by cafe sober and has been abstinent for three years after his most recent relapse, but is open about his recovery journey. He is encouraged to engage in his passions which is working well for him.
