One year #sober. A year ago, drinking a bottle and a half of whiskey a day, I would have never thought this to be possible. I'm amazed at this achievement, and I want to tell everyone, if I can do it, you can. I believe in you. #RecoveryPosse #alcoholawareness #youcandoit

Through my addiction I caused a lot of pain to people and communities. Part of my journey is humbly taking accountability for past harms & repairing the damage through integrity & kindness. Forgive your past by paying it forward! #HumbledByTheJourney #forgiveness

“The drugs strategy is great news, but now the work begins. We really need to ensure that all of that additional funding goes towards making treatment more accessible and more responsive to individual need.” #addiction #mentalhealth #drugpolicy

Our streets are being flooded with a poisoned drug supply. President Biden and his administration should also be flooding our streets with overdose response resources and taking aggressive action to shut down illicit fentanyl mills here at home and abroad. thehill.com/blogs/congress…

@SteviesTweetz @DrHannahCarver @JoeSchofield0 @ScotTories @SDFnews those invitations are still open to anyone with a curiosity as to why this bill could radically change the addiction sector in the interest of the person who seeks help & it might be worth considering why the establishment isn’t even willing to chat or learn about it 🤗

I’ve lost 20+ followers since I tweeted about organisations exploiting lived experience speakers at conferences and training events………seems it may have touched a few nerves which I’m glad about maybe it’ll start a conversation

International Recovery Day is excited to share that we are joining forces with @FACESandVOICES! Please read the full announcement below and stay tuned for more exciting updates! facesandvoicesofrecovery.org/blog/2022/01/1…

The voice of lived experience can instil hope – something fundamental for #recovery from the stigma and other harms of #addiction. recoveryreview.blog/2022/01/10/top…

Going over some old presentations from 2014 - that checklist is superb !! #progress #Addiction #RecoveryPosse

We believe that recovery is absolutely possible, and that it should be placed within reach of anyone and everyone who wishes to get better. Help us do that 🤗❤️ ift.tt/39fPU9C

Each person’s mental health status is unique to them. Similarly, each person will have a different relationship with substances. Try to avoid using to cope and don’t be afraid to talk to someone about how you’re feeling. See our #MentalHealth info here: bit.ly/3ky3Gd0

@natalieloganmac Happy birthday 🎂

9 years ago I was at my rock bottom. Using & drinking chaotically and praying each night to die. By the grace of God, the 12 steps & studying CBT and DBT today I celebrate 9 years of sobriety. 9 years removed from chaos living my best life. Thanks to those who believed in me ❤️

Happy New Year 🥳 22 lots of love from me to you 💜

“Scotland’s drug deaths emergency needs fresh thinking and fast action rooted in public health. A Right to Recovery Bill could be the gateway to whole system change and sustainable funding. Thank You @MonicaLennon7 @SteviesTweetz dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…
