Sharing your struggles is more than just an emotional release – it’s an act of hope. When you speak openly about what you’re facing, you invite understanding, support and connection. Talking can help you:

🩵 Feel less alone and more understood
🩵 Reduce the sense of shame and isolation
🩵 Gain perspective and clarity about your situation
🩵 Access practical guidance and professional help
🩵 Recovery begins with conversation, and every conversation brings us closer to a world where addiction is met with compassion, not stigma.

When you engage with a service whether it’s a treatment centre or drug and alcohol service, you will be understood by professionals and met by peers where there is identification and you will realise that you are not alone.

Great to see high profile individuals speaking out about addiction to help end the stigma 💙

Catherine, Princess of Wales, has spoken out this week saying:

“Addiction is not a choice or a personal failing but a complex mental health condition that should be met with empathy and support...But still, even now in 2025, people’s experience of addiction is shaped by fear, shame and judgment. This needs to change. The stigma surrounding those who face addiction allows it to thrive behind closed doors, impacting families and communities, and ultimately ruining lives."

She asked for those with addiction to be supported with compassion and love, and for people to talk about addiction to end the stigma and help encourage people to get help.

“By talking about it in the open, together we can bring addiction and the harm it causes out of the shadows.”

Forward Trust patron says ‘compassion and love’ are needed to end fear and shame felt by those affected

Addiction impacts the entire family, creating a ‘family illness’ with unhealthy coping dynamics. Support groups and therapy empower families to break the cycle and foster hope for recovery. 💚

Healing starts when you refocus on your own life and wellbeing. By learning about addiction, setting healthy boundaries and connecting with others who truly understand, you can break the cycle of chaos and rediscover hope.

If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. Broadway Lodge offers a free, confidential online family programme led by an experienced counsellor, providing education, guidance and a safe space to share.
