We also want to offer advice and support for those still suffering and offer solutions for those who just want to know more.

This event has become a huge hit with over 40 teams taking part in an It's A Knockout style competition every year. Neil tells us how recovering from a heroin addiction, 24 years ago, spurred him on to help others on their journeys.

IN RECOVERY - THE ARK HOUSE PODCAST is thrilled to be named one of the Best Podcasts by The Sunday Times (on Sunday 21st June 2026) and is riding high in the charts, as we continue our second season.  We are so grateful to everyone for their support. If you are listening on Apple - we would love you to leave us a review.

IN RECOVERY is a companion guide for those on their addiction recovery journey. We also want to offer advice and support for those still suffering and offer solutions for those who just want to know more. This is a well-being podcast produced and presented by people with lived experience who want to carry the message of recovery.

Every episode we speak to someone in the spotlight who shares their struggles with addiction. This week a member of 90's boy band 911 who sold more than 16 million records worldwide. JIMMY CONSTABLE spiralled when the band split, using drink and drugs to try and cover his emotions. He opens up about his recovery journey. 

Former resident of Ark House SAM speaks honestly about his battle with Cannabis and Ketamine. He is celebrating being over 5 years clean and sober and gives his story of faith, hope and courage in the hope it can help people listening. 

We are also joined by the founder of Sober Butterfly, HANNAH TAYLOR who has dedicated so much time and energy into helping people in sobriety find new activities and friends. Sober Butterfly was born in the Great Pause of 2020 and was developed to promote the positives to enjoying a sober lifestyle, by revitalising your mental health and wellbeing whilst maintaining a glittering social life – They are reinventing the definition of sober and showing how you can live life to the fullest and most colourful without alcohol.

This podcast shares real conversations, lived experience and honest stories of hope and transformation within the recovery community. From personal journeys to professional insights into addiction and treatment, IN RECOVERY gives a powerful voice to those walking the path of change.
