Are you concerned about your drinking and drug use? Or just want to start the weekend out in a positive way, connecting with others considering or making changes around substance use?

If you are Liverpool based and want to join our recovery community, then we would love to meet you on our friendly online Friday night Recovery check in group. The group runs from 6pm to 7pm and is a safe, friendly, none judgemental space where we have a chat around how you’re feeling, weekend plans, drug and alcohol use, harm reduction, triggers, reduction and abstinence – and anything else that is on your mind!

If you’d like to join us, or want to have a chat with us to discuss if this is the group for you then please contact Recovery@lgbt.foundation
