Listen UP By Abbeycare
Every month, we bring you an unfiltered recovery conversation with someone who's either experienced addiction firsthand, or works closely with those in recovery.
No sanitised success stories - just practical insights on what actually works in recovery, that you can apply, in your life too.
Inside each episode, you'll find:
- Direct conversations with guests who understand recovery from personal or professional experience
- Pivotal moments from their journey - their insights, and how you can apply them
- How they navigated each stage along the way (including the failures)
Month by month, we help you unlock the hidden patterns behind successful recovery stories (without the clinical approach).
Listen UP's Presenter Eddie Clarke is Abbeycare's Outreach Manager, and in long term recovery personally.
He's spent over 9 years helping hundreds through their own recovery, and identified the exact patterns that differentiate those who achieve lasting sobriety, from those who struggle.

In Listen UP Episode 14, Scottish Drugs Forum CEO Kirsten Horsburgh shares frontline, human-first insights - highlighting how showing people their lives matter can shift everything, and why meeting people without judgement becomes the starting point for real change.
Kirsten reveals how a simple 15-minute naloxone conversation led to a life being saved within days - transforming harm reduction from theory into something immediate, and deeply human:
- Choose non-judgemental spaces to reduce shame and keep showing up
- How to spot when support options don’t fit your situation
- Build small safety habits that can protect you day-to-day
- One overlooked barrier stopping people accessing life-saving treatment
...and reveals practical, real-world harm reduction insights throughout.
