Pain when you p*e?
Going more often?
Lower stomach cramps?

Ketamine can cause serious bladder damage.

“In the beginning, I used it as an escape but then
started to use it as a painkiller because of the
pain I was getting from using ketamine.”
Connor, 21

If something feels wrong, get checked early.

Anxiety doesn’t happen in isolation, especially if drugs or alcohol are part of your life.

A lot of people use substances to quiet anxiety, sleep better, or get through stressful days. But anxiety can also grow underneath.

This session helps you understand:
💙 what anxiety really is
💙 what keeps it going
💙 what treatment and support options are out there
💙 and some simple ways to manage it more day to day

A lot of people who struggle with alcohol don’t look like the stereotype.

🔺They go to work.
🔺 They have families.
🔺 They keep things running.

From the outside, everything looks fine. But alcohol is still doing more in their life than they want it to - shaping their mood, their energy, their relationships, and their sense of control.

If that sounds uncomfortably familiar, come talk to us. No pressure. No Judgement. Just a conversation about what’s actually going on and then if you want support, we’ll talk it through: www.turning-point.co.uk/services/wakefield-inspiring-recovery

Winter and New Year pressure can make low mood feel heavier, especially if drugs or alcohol have ever been part of how you cope ❄️🙁

This "Low Mood" guide helps you understand what low mood is, what keeps it going, and what kind of support and treatments are available. It also shares some simple ideas you can use to manage things more day-to-day.

👉 You can go through it in your own time, whether you’re using, cutting back, in recovery, or supporting someone else: https://rise.articulate.com/share/DxzAhBVXZ1lbqsVT5hAZHNX2BQnE5etP

Thinking about stopping smoking?🚬

For a lot of people who use drugs or alcohol, smoking is the hardest habit to shift. It’s tied to stress, routines, and recovery, which makes quitting feel complicated.

This free, one-off session cuts through the noise. It looks at:
• what smoking actually does to your body
• what helps (and what doesn’t) when trying to stop
• and how to get the right support

A single account on Snapchat can reach more people than a street corner ever could. That means drugs are often coming from people you don’t know, with no safety checks and no way to tell what’s really inside your score.

If you’re using, a few things can reduce the risk:
👻 be aware that what you’re sold might not be what it’s labelled as
💬 avoid mixing drugs with alcohol
👻 go slow and don’t use alone
💬 know the signs of overdose and when to call for help

If you’re worried about yourself or someone you care about, speak to our team. We will help you work out what to do next: www.turning-point.co.uk/services/wakefield-inspiring-recovery
