Company activities and impact

From the outset, Recovery Films CIC has sought to reflect and promote the positive side of recovery from addictions. An opinion quoted in a recent report by SFAD and SRC suggests: "The media causes so much damage and stigmatizes people affected by addiction. More focus should be put on understanding how people recover, sharing the learning and celebrating recovery." (Rewriting the Media's Portrayal of Addiction and Recovery). The first Recovery Walk recorded by Recovery Films CIC took place over the Forth Bridge in 2013. It was joyous and celebratory and presented an alternative picture of "happy, shiny people in recovery from any illness, and that's good enough for me" as one interviewee commented. That video on the Recovery Films YouTube channel stands as a lasting legacy. For whilst COVID rules restricted people in recovery from meeting together, positive images of recovery could be found on the Recovery Films video channel. Alongside documentary films of the Recovery Walks can be found in a talk given by Gerry Murphy entitled "You Are Not Your Thoughts." Sleeve notes to the book co-authored with Lorraine Buchanan affirm that lived experience and pain become the greatest teacher. Learning to control your thoughts and taking responsibility for your actions can change your life. The king of our addictions is our thinking. (Now I Understand: A Guide to Life in Layman's Terms.)Peter Charad presents "An Insight into Codependency" based on their own experience from four nervous breakdowns, treatment in the Charter Nightingale in Abbey Road, and twelve-step recovery. Peter explains from his many visits to the United States, how mentors, John Friel and Linda Friel, use the "Iceberg Model" of codependency where depression is hidden below the surface. Peter advises the best description of codependency comes from John Bradshaw. (The Homecoming), as "an underlying depression where people have spent all their life outside themselves." Whilst it has not been possible to work productively during the Covid restrictive period the upkeep of the YouTube and Vimeo channels have proved a useful service to those with an interest in recovery outside of the mainstream media in Scotland. Recovery Films CIC maintained a relationship with the theatre group Sweet For Addicts in early discussions around a Christmas video and we entered into a development process together for future production. A small grant from Ctsi allowed us to experiment with the software Celtx System for production management sharing development online to avoid meetings in person
