Hundreds of people in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction attended an inspiring event in Renfrewshire, celebrating their achievements with friends and family.

Gathering was uplifting and inspiring

Around 300 people came together at Abbeycare's annual Recovery Gathering last Sunday at the Glynhill Hotel and Spa in Renfrew, during National Recovery Month.

The event was organised and hosted by Abbeycare, which runs a residential drug and alcohol addiction recovery clinic in Erskine.

The idea behind the gathering was to bring together Abbeycare's community of existing and former clients and their families, making the process of recovery more visible.

This year's event was held less than a fortnight after official figures showed that 1,017 people in Scotland died as a result of drug use in 2024; 46 of those in Renfrewshire.

The keynote speech was delivered by Dr David Best, professor of addiction recovery at Leeds Trinity University, with another address given by Darren McGarvey, the author, broadcaster, musician and former Abbeycare client.

COMFORTABLY NOM, NOM, NOM

When it’s cold outside, I crave proper comfort food, so this week I'm cooking dishes to bring a little warmth and joy. Think rich one-tray dinners, hearty pies and slowly simmered dishes that fill the house with good smells and make the dark evenings feel brighter. These are recipes you don’t want to rush, perfect for settling in after a long day. Add a cosy pudding and you've got all you need for the week ahead.
