@guyfelicella This is a quote from a Belfast MLA in 2020 re a local needle exchange. What hope do we have when these people are in government 🤦

Do you know what they say about lived experience? You can't buy it but it sure does cost a lot! #LivedExperience

@guyfelicella 100%

@10PYusuf book is out in January. Everyone involved in social work needs this book which is bursting at the seams with emotion, learning and reflection. Pre order via siobhan@kirwinmaclean.co.uk £16 plus p&p. #BeTheDifference

AA/NA doesn't work for everybody & when someone relapses the narrative is that they didn't work the program good enough. In actuality the program itself may have been the problem for them. Blaming people creates shame and isolates them further in their addiction.

@Catheri62524235 It's a meme. It started from an anime.

I've declined various media outlets to comment on Scotlands drug death figures today as we record another year of devastation as world leaders in drug deaths. Here is my comment Needless, preventable deaths, to the families, I'm so sorry your loved one is gone.

For the social workers, carers, counselors and mentors with lived experience.

@time4hange @_Cowan_ @CmdEochaidh @irish_news Some big words in that.

Please don’t envy me: you have no idea how many sleepless night, late nights, early mornings, wasted days, broken days, empty fridges, credit card debts, overdrafts, negative account balances, NO’s, rejections, tears, and broken hearts I’ve been through to get here... ❤️

@JustmeChael Wow! Just wow! ❤️

@Bigg_Daddy_O @lokiscottishrap Beneath every behaviour there is a feeling and beneath every feeling there is a need. When we meet that need rather than focus on the behaviour, we begin to deal with the cause rather than the symptom.

@lokiscottishrap Zero clue of trauma informed practice. I can rather shamefully say I had similar ideas as a younger cop but my experience now working closely with parter agencies on addiction we can only solve addiction by treating the mental side not by locking folk up and demonising them.

@chrismrintoul Is the plant ok?

@guyfelicella What's the alternative? (Genuine question)

Current regulations require many people with SUD to go to a pharmacy everyday for their meds. No other health issue requires this. This isn’t normal. People can’t move forward when they’re chained to a clinic or pharmacy.

@PerryBarrWMP @LozellsWMP @HandsworthWMP @SuptGMorris How many drink drivers did you stop?
