About this service
We are an abstinence-based recovery living centre, for adult males. Our building is based in L15. Our aim is to provide recovery from addiction via arts, sport and culture. We believe these things will lead to purpose, belonging and connection.
Trying to recover on your own is a difficult process. We try to do everything as a community, whether it be photography groups, world cinema nights, circuit training, interpersonal group therapy, gallery visits, gigs, theatre, football, local litter picks, writing workshops and we’ve recently started Brazilian Ju Jitsu.
Whilst doing all this, and most of it is great fun, we also have to keep an eye on the very patterns that brought us here in the first place. The parts of our personalities that aren’t serving us, or anyone else, well. This isn’t so enjoyable. As a community though, one day at a time, we’re doing it. Hard work but the rewards are worth it. We experience personal growth on a daily basis here.
Our doors are open to anyone who wants to come and see what we do. Addiction still has a lot of stigmas attached to it. We want to show people that there is a vibrant recovery community here. One that feeds off taking part in life, instead of letting it pass us by, which we did for so long.
One of the reasons we are thriving is through the help of the general public. It makes a massive difference to our personal and collective recoveries knowing that we are valued and supported.
Please come and visit us to see DJK in action yourself.
