About This Cause
SharingPoint was founded in 2002 to provide group counselling services to adults directly affected by addiction or indirectly affected by the addiction of a significant other person in their lives. SharingPoint’s principal objective, as detailed in our Constitution, is to benefit the community through the provision of services in connection with addiction recovery and its effects. We do this by offering our clients structured processes to begin and continue their way towards physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We provide one-to-one and group counselling services to adults affected by addiction, directly or indirectly, to recover from its damaging effects in their lives. SharingPoint has developed its own understanding of addiction and a unique approach to recovery based on existing theoretical models and years of practical experience. SharingPoint defines addiction as an ongoing, destructive, and compulsive pursuit or relationship with any mood-altering substance or behaviour that can completely take over a person’s life and transform it with often horrific consequences for them and for those around them. We believe that addiction stems from a loss or lack of personal identity and a deep sense of disconnection from one’s self and from others. Disconnection from one’s self can occur for reasons such as trauma, ill-health, or lack of care at some level. Some people may be disconnected from their true selves because they never understood who they were as individuals and were never taught how to make a real connection to themselves. At SharingPoint, we believe that it is possible to recover from addiction by establishing or re-establishing a connection to our true selves on the basis that living true to who we really are is incompatible with addictive behaviour. Connection and reconnection to one’s self can only be established by understanding and accepting who we are and living in a way that is true to that person. If the important connection to ourselves, and subsequently to others, is best achieved when we understand and accept who we are, then it is essential to learn who we are and how we work. SharingPoint believes that self-awareness, and the choices we make in life using this information, are critical to a healthy life. We believe that we can only learn who we really are as individuals by undertaking a journey of self-awareness and inner growth. This journey should focus on the four key areas of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, their interaction, and the importance of each to recovery. The SharingPoint addiction recovery method places an emphasis not only on developing personal understanding and acceptance but also on ownership, responsibility, consciousness, the criticality of opening up, trusting and being vulnerable to others whilst learning to live in the present. In order to achieve this, the SharingPoint's addiction recovery model combines elements from a number of known treatment models and uses psychotherapeutic and counselling techniques to provide a service that is delivered through facilitated group-counselling sessions. A key difference between the SharingPoint approach to addiction recovery and other recovery models is that SharingPoint addresses mental and emotional health separately as distinct and separate entities. The SharingPoint programme focuses on the affected person rather than on the addiction. The specific factors involved in each individual's addiction means that their path to recovery may also be unique. SharingPoint essentially helps to create the self-awareness that allows its clients to become the person that they are meant to be and so avoid the circumstances that lead to the development of addiction. Over the past 18 years, SharingPoint’s unique approach to supporting those affected in all the various ways by addiction in its broadest definition has continued to deliver long lasting results.
