Recovery falls apart the moment honesty slips. Not the big liesโ€”the tiny ones. The โ€œIโ€™m fine.โ€ The โ€œIโ€™ve got this.โ€ The mask.

For men, that mask is often the first relapse.

Self-honesty is the hardest part
It means calling yourself out when youโ€™re slipping.
It means admitting when youโ€™re struggling.
It means dropping the performance and telling the truth, even when it stings.
Thatโ€™s why spaces like this matter
A talking circle isnโ€™t about judgement. Itโ€™s about men holding each other accountable so we donโ€™t drift back into the shadows.
If youโ€™re tired of pretending, come through.
If youโ€™re slipping, come through.
If you just need to be real for an hour, come through.
You donโ€™t need to be okay. You just need to show up.

Unload and Uplift โ€“ Talking Circle for Menโ€™s Mental Health

Weโ€™ve seen a powerful influx of new faces over the past two weeks at Unload and Uplift. Hats off to the bravery of every man whoโ€™s walked through the doorโ€”your courage to show up and speak is nothing short of inspiring.

This week weโ€™re holding two circles:
๐ŸŸข Tonight (Monday) at 6PM
TACT Offices, Strickland House, The Lawns, Wellington TF1 3BX

๐ŸŸข Thursday at 6PM
St Andrews Church, Shifnal TF11 9AB

If youโ€™re a man over 18 feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or just need a space to breatheโ€”weโ€™re here. Breath of Life is a peer support group built on compassion, connection, and real talk. No pressure, no judgment. Just a circle of men who get it.
๐Ÿ’ฌ Come unload. Leave uplifted.
