    Race for LifeOn 18th May 2011 a groupo well-intentioned SUGAR

    and BDAAT would bekeep t anatics went toCannon Hill Park to takepart in the Race or Lie.

    Once we parked on the ocial car park,

    no one said it would be a hal mile walk to

    the start o the race but we soldiered on.

    We were joined by other riends

    rom inclusion and Addaction and

    patiently awaited the start. Following

    an energetic warm up to the zumba,

    the eager entrants had to have a rest

    beore the main event began.

    Joining over 2000 others the race

    began, with our team soon making

    up ground. A blistering 17 minutes

    later the rst participant came past

    the nishing line, not bad or 5km.

    The rst o our group to nish wasChristine rom Inclusion in 44min.

    Most o our team nished the

    race in under an hour, which

    was a great achievement.

    The supporters gave all a

    resounding cheer and a good time

    was had by all.

    Well done

    to all who

    took part inthe Race

    or Lie and

    the monies

    they raised.

    Lets see

    i we can

    be bigger

    EditorsComments

    Welcome to the rst editiono the Birmingham ServiceUser and Carer magazine.

    Although it looks like it has been named

    SUGAR, in act this is just a temporary

    name or the magazine. Further down

    you will see how you can be part o this

    exciting new magazine, we are oering 40

    in Love2Shop vouchers or the best name

    suggested or the magazine, details below.

    Inside this peer-led magazine you willnd powerul service user and carer

    stories; inormation about recent and

    uture events; useul and inormative

    inormation about Birminghams treatment

    and support options and much more.

    It has taken what seems like a lietime

    to get to this point and the creation is

    the culmination o hard work by service

    users and carers across Birmingham.

    In September 2010 the BirminghamDrug and Alcohol Action Team (BDAAT)

    refected on their User Involvement

    provision and came to realise that it was

    very limited. BDAAT took the decision

    to enhance the service user and carer

    provision by bringing together a group o

    service users who were interested in the

    development o involvement, which they

    like to now call active participation.

    Following our months o hard work, therst Birmingham Recovery Forum (BRF)

    was attended by about 35 service users

    who took ownership and led on its uture

    direction. Once the steering group was not

    needed, it was dissolved with a view to

    creating a pan-Birmingham User and Carer

    Involvement Team.

    This team, now called SUGAR (Service

    User Group About Recovery) has in the

    ew months o its existence assisted in

    the continual growth and development

    o BRF, which now has an average

    attendance o 60 members; set upmultiple events, including Carers Day

    (Pampering Sessions), International

    Remembrance Day, World Drugs Day

    City Bus Tour (in partnership with BDAAT);

    and created this magazine which is

    only part o the ever growing recovery

    movement happening in Birmingham.

    We hope you enjoy the very rst edition o

    this magazine, created by service users

    and carers or service users and carers.

    story; inormation or poem; recipe or

    Jaynes StoryI grew up with alcohol & drugtaking rom a very young age.

    I was around 6 years old when I becameaected by my mums drinking.

    She would come home rom the pub

    emotional & upset. I would instantly start

    to eel like I had to help my mum, possibly

    heal her. (this was to go on or years) she

    would play one particular record called

    wheres your mama gone my mom always

    promised she was going to leave us.

    This being mysel (oldest) sister and two

    younger brothers. I was in charge o themand my mom. I became the head carer o

    the amily. I was obsessed with my mom

    leaving. The more my mom drank

    the more violent she became I I

    overcooked potatoes or meat, didnt clean

    foors or make beds properly. Looker ater

    my siblings properly she would beat me.

    She always had hangovers which made

    my mom horrendous o a morning. I

    dreaded my mom combing my hair. The

    pain was excruciating, I would cry, silently

    as, i she saw or heard me crying she

    would beat me or it. I always dreaded

    going home ater school. I I heard her

    arguing with my abusive violent step

    dad I would ll with great ear. My heart

    would pound. Id do anything to

    stay away rom any responsibility

    concerning our household.

    I never had any peace o mind,

    even at night while sleeping,my parents would wake me to

    ask why didnt I clean under the

    cooker or ridge properly as my step

    dad would plant matchsticks to see i

    I had swept and mopped. It reminded

    me o the lm Freddie Kruger, cuz even

    when you slept, there was no escape!

    To this day I never have a ull nights

    sleep without waking at least twice.

    My life storyThere came a point in mylie where I ound myselat a complete standstill.

    I had no beer, no money and I was

    desperate or a ag, completely

    isolated rom the outside world. The

    only people I mixed with were other

    people in the same situation as me,i not worse. I was in a hostel; I had

    somehow managed to gain the title

    o alcoholic.I was a successful

    medical professional, with

    a nice house, car and a new

    born son. Then, right beore my

    eyes this was all taken away rom

    me. This was all due to my excessive

    drinking behavior. I ound it harder

    and harder to hold down a job, and

    even harder to hold onto my wieand inant son. Having tried several

    times to stop drinking with no

    proessional help, I sought help rom

    several treatment units. None o these

    attempts worked and I eventually

    came to terms with the knowledge

    that I would always be a waste o

    space. I made a choice to try and

    change one last try. I approached

    Aquarius and screamed out

    or help. I was reerred to ParkHouse Birmingham, a residential

    treatment unit. On the 1st February

    2011, I was admitted and the team

    there managed to give me back my

    sel-condence and something else

    that I had lost many years ago. My

    sel esteem. And my personality.

    SUGAR(Service User Groups About Recovery), hasdeveloped rom the organic growth o Service

    User Involvement within Birmingham.and created this magazine which isonly part o the ever growing recoverymovement happening in Birmingham.

    SUGAR is very much integratedpartnership working at its best. Not onlydoes it incorporate all service user andcarer groups across Birmingham, but alsoworks in partnership now with providersand generic services. User Involvement orActive Participation is now integral to

    all BDAAT processes including TreatmentRedesign as well as contributingto Executive reports beore they arereceived by the Joint CommissioningGroup (JCG) - the stakeholdersthat ratiy all decisions regardingtreatment provision in Birmingham.

    SUGAR has achieved a huge amount,but none o this would have beenpossible without the partnershipthat is SUGAR and BDAAT.

    If you would like to contact SUGAR:Please call the Involvement Team on0121 465 4936 or go towww.bdaat.co.uk/involvement

    Alternatively call Mark Spooner on07540668594 [email protected].

    For urther inormation on the BirminghamRecovery Forum (BRF) see page 15.

    We would just like to thank everyone who has been

    part o this exciting journey: including all members o

    the SUGAR team; everyone at Birmingham Recovery

    Forum; everyone who contributes to the runningo all Service User Groups and Mutual Aid Group

    across Birmingham; all interested and participatory

    workers and services; all o you who have taken the

    step to ride the wave that is Recovery ; and last but

    defnitely not least, Sarah Feeley, Acting Involvement

    Team Leader and Parveen Akhtar, Strategic Lead,

    BDAAT without whose support and genuine belie

    in User Involvement / Active Participation

    / Integrated Partnership Working,

    none o this could have happened.

    In September 2010 the Birmingham Drugand Alcohol Action Team (BDAAT) refectedon their User Involvement provisionand came to realise that it was almostnon-existent. BDAAT took the decisionto enhance the service user and carerprovision by bringing together a groupo service users who were known to beenthusiastic and passionate about thedevelopment o involvement, which they

    like to now call active participation.From a group o our service users whorst met in November 2010, a steeringgroup was created with the expresspurpose o developing a orum or serviceusers and carers. The steering grouphad support rom BDAAT (who providedmeeting rooms; admin support; accessto oces; and other assistance wheresought) throughout the entire developmentand implementation process, and the

    steering group quickly grew into a teamo teen service users and carers whosemembership represents the diverse serviceuser groups within drugs, alcohol andcarers across the whole o Birmingham.

    Following our months o hard work, therst Birmingham Recovery Forum (BRF)was attended by about 35 service userswho took ownership and led on its uturedirection. Once the steering group was notneeded, it was dissolved with a view tocreating a pan-Birmingham User and CarerInvolvement Team. This team, now calledSUGAR (Service User Group AboutRecovery) has in the ew months o itsexistence assisted in the continual growthand development o BRF, which now hasan average attendance o 60 members;set up multiple events, including CarersDay (Pampering Sessions), InternationalRemembrance Day, World Drugs Day City Bus Tour (in partnership with BDAAT);

    Visions!I saw your vision upon the wall,Because youre the fairest of them all,But when your vision disappears,My heart fills up with love and tears.By Dean OConnor.

    After Leaving DetoxJohn Paul Gill-Barron

    Ater leaving/nishing detox at Park HouseI ound mysel in a huge and scary world. Ihad become accustomed to the world as weknow it with a drunken mind. But now seeingit with a sober mind or the rst time in manyyears. I began to eel a huge Wow actor coming on.

    It seemed that everywhere I turned, I could see alcohol in shops, on TV, bill boards and

    even strangers chatting on the bus/train. The whole world seemed obsessed with Alcohol.

    It seemed to take me days to be able to adjust and ocus on what I had set out

    to do each day without coming across Alcohol and experiencing some orm o

    craving. It took me even longer to be able to cope with these cravings.

    Inter Agency Football

    Results 2011 (Sam Marsh A-Team)Friday 6th May saw the second A-Team ootballtournament take place and more importantly aday or networking and making new riends.

    The day was a great success with nearly

    200 people rom dierent agencies able

    to meet and mingle while watching the

    action with many individuals able to orm

    contacts and hopeully a better

    understanding o agencies

    and the work they undertake.

    The day was organised

    to bring service providers

    together to get to know

    each other and enable

    partnership working.

    It was a cracking turnout

    and a good day was had by

    all, hope to see everyone

    there again next year!

    (Funding permitted) A bigthank you goes out to all

    those who attended.

    Link to A Teams article and pictures:

    http://www.alcoholservices-ateam.org.uk

    The sun sparkled as 12 teams rom drug

    and alcohol treatment services as well

    as service user groups kicked o the

    inter-agency ootball tournament 2011.

    Four groups o three

    teams battled it out

    on the pitch and

    eventually a winner

    rom each group

    was able to contest

    the semi nals. A big

    thank you is given to

    all those players who

    lled in or teams who

    were short o players.

    In a really tight game

    the tournament hosts,the A-Team just scraped

    past Swanswell B team

    or a place in the nal.

    They were joined by Start-Again who

    narrowly beat Sia A in the other semi

    nal ollowing a nail biting penalty shoot

    out that went through to sudden death.

    With everybody relaxed ater the buet

    a repeat o last years nal took placebetween the A-Team and Start-Again.

    Two tired teams battled out the nal,

    the score was tied at 3-3 at ull time

    and so a penalty shoot out took place

    where the A-team managed to win.

    Beore a F.A investigation is launched, it

    should be noted that the A-Team had a

    little help rom SMART and Turning Point

    or which we are extremely grateul.

    Paul Humphries StoryI stopped smoking & injecting heroin & crack about3+ years ago, and although Ive always drank a lot

    since stopping the drugs, my drinking has spiralled outo control & replaced everything else. I still take 80mlmethadone everyday as Ive done or a long time, butits the drink thats had the biggest impact on my health,so much so my liver and kidneys are in a bad way.

    Two years ago I started thinking about lie beore drugs and all those bad years & all the

    shit Ive put my amily through. I suggested to my dad we start going out shing again

    like we used to do when I was younger! In act it was about the time I started down

    the wrong path at 14 years I lost interest! At rst I think I was just thinking about going,

    but I kept asking & he said OK lets go. Since then weve been going everyweek between May Sept & its been great! Getting out & about, seeing the

    countryside, enjoying the good weather & most o all catching some big sh! But

    most important its shown me I can enjoy lie without drink and drugs! Again!

    Park HouseAllotment Programme

    Park House in conjunction with Inclusion CommunityDrug Team (CDT) and DATUS have successullysecured two allotments in Northeld Birmingham or theuse o service users o these services (and potentiallyother stable individuals rom other services).We have started this spring to develop

    the sites ater securing project unding

    rom the Birmingham Drug Alcohol Action

    Team & National Treatment Agency (NTA).

    The programme will allow service users

    to contribute to a community project as

    part o their treatment, carrying out normal

    everyday tasks that are hugely rewarding

    and enjoyable. Participants will have the

    chance to learn new skills in organic

    horticulture, learning about growing ood

    rom seed to plate. The ood will then

    become part o a Healthy Eating the

    cheap & easy way programme with

    service users learning 3 ingredientcooking lie skills and good nutrition.

    Service users are involved in all

    aspects o the allotment rom the initial

    design and layout o the plot, through

    planning, implementation, propagation,

    harvesting, preparing and eating the

    produce grown. Vegetables grown are

    to be used or cooking at the centre

    with any surplus being sold locally.

    Surplus crops can now be sold andthere are many possible outlets or this,

    or example we are planning to run a

    armers market crop share stall which sells

    allotment surplus. This will become part o

    the Park House and Community Drug Team

    (CDT) employability programme teaching

    business and entrepreneurial skills; giving

    employment tasters with the aim to give a

    starting hand or service user businesses.

    Other initiatives will include supplying

    organisations such as Jamie Olivers 15

    restaurant and other community groups.

    The allotment is designed and maintained

    using Permaculture techniques and is an

    organic system.

    Permaculture is

    a creative approach to

    designing landscapes

    that work with nature rather than against

    it. Permaculture seeks to create beautiul

    living systems that provide ood (and other

    essentials) or people in sustainable ways.

    Permaculture is based on 3 ounding

    principles o Earth Care, Fair Share and

    People Care and these principles underpinall design decisions. It combines age-old

    indigenous wisdom with new insights

    emerging rom movements or sustainability

    around the world. Permaculture is a

    dynamic, eclectic, and creative discipline

    being used all over the world.

    The DifferenceI got up early one morning and rushed right into the day;

    I had so much to accomplish, I didnt have time to pray.

    Problems just tumbled about me and grew heavier with each task;

    Why doesnt God help me, I wondered; He answered, You didnt ask.

    I wanted to see joy and beauty, but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;

    I wondered why God didnt show me - He said, But you didnt seek.

    I tried to come into Gods presence; I used all my keys at the lock;

    God gently and lovingly chided, My child, you didnt knock.

    I woke up early this morning and paused beore entering the day;

    I had so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.

    Debbies DenWeve run two Debbies Den events

    where service users can pitch their ideas

    or new services or new ways o doing

    things to a Swanswell panel including

    Debbie Bannigan, Swanswell CEO, a

    Swanswell Director and two Swanswell

    service users. Several good ideas arebeing worked on at the moment. One idea

    three service users pitched to Debbie is

    a ootball project to help them get t and

    well. This idea is being developed urther

    with the aim o helping service users keep

    t as well as orming a ootball team.

    Social EnterpriseSwanswell has set up a social enterprise

    scheme where service users have been

    trained to become therapists in several

    complementary therapies including

    auricular acupuncture, massage and Reiki.

    Swanswell is assisting the therapists to

    take up contracts to deliver complementary

    had, substance misuse issues including illicit drugs, alcohol,legal highs and over the counter / prescription medicines. Itis equally a place or carers, relatives and concerned others.

    drug and alcohol use will only be tackledeectively in partnership and through acohesive and co-ordinated multi-agencyapproach to the issue. In other words,we encourage all services within thetreatment system to work together, aswell as the wide array o generic servicesthat operate within the Birmingham area.

    Service User Involvement in Birminghamalso ollows this integrated approachby encouraging all service user groupsand service user representatives rom allservices to be part o the pan-BirminghamInvolvement Team (SUGAR). This hasbeen successul in that the current teamrepresents a great proportion o this diversegroup and is consistently growing.

    We believe in the undamental right o

    drug / alcohol users and their carers tobe treated equally, non-judgementallyand with dignity and respect.
