Personalised online addiction recovery support

Addiction recovery support built around the person

Professional online support for people facing problems with cocaine, alcohol and other substances, as well as gambling and compulsive behaviours.

Through individual support or an intensive recovery programme, we work on understanding addiction patterns, preventing relapse and building a more stable life without relying on a substance or behaviour.

Recovery Group

Psychoeducation, practical strategies and support for real situations in everyday life.

Each meeting has its own theme, but there is always room for whatever participants are dealing with right now. You can ask a question, bring a specific situation or problem, and get help finding a strategy you can actually use in your life.

Come with a question or a real situation. Leave with a strategy you can put into practice.

You don't have to speak or turn your camera on straight away. You can listen first and join in when you feel ready.

Topics we explore

Cravings · Triggers · Relapse prevention · Emotions · Impulsivity · Relationships · Routine · ADHD and addiction

  • 90 minutes, online
  • Every Thursday at 18:00
  • Small group, 8–10 participants at most
  • Psychoeducation and practical tools
  • Working on participants' own questions and situations
  • Direct support and shared experience
  • No need to be in individual support or the intensive programme

This may feel familiar

You do not need to have everything figured out before asking for support.

Maybe you have already tried to stop.

Maybe you can go days or weeks without using, then find yourself back in the same pattern.

Maybe the substance has become how you cope, function, switch off, socialise, or simply get through the day.

Recovery is more than stopping the substance.

Our Story

A Song That Kept Finding Us And A Nest That Grew To Four

The inspiration for Four Little Birds comes from Bob Marley's song Three Little Birds.

We had been together for only a few months when my husband was going through recovery from addiction. In the middle of our hardest arguments, when it felt like there was no way out, that song would somehow show up, and almost always managed to make us smile.

We would hear it from a cassette player outside the town hall, in a bar, on the car radio. It came back so many times, and so often exactly when things were hardest, that we stopped seeing it as a coincidence. We began to believe that, somehow, everything would be alright.

Later, we no longer waited for the song to find us. When things got really hard, we would play it ourselves. On repeat. In a way, it held our hand.

More than ten years later, my husband is still abstinent, and the two of us have become four.

That is how Three Little Birds became Four Little Birds.

That is why this name is not a brand we came up with afterwards. It is part of our story, a story that existed long before Four Little Birds was born.

Recovery is not about controlling people or telling them what to do. It is about understanding the person, creating connection, building awareness, and helping a sustainable life in recovery take shape.
