"Recovery is not a passive state – it is about human transformation and growth that will often involve overcoming not only physical and psychological withdrawals and cravings but also negative social attitudes, stigma and discrimination."

"I think it's important that it's not just 'sobriety is the only way' and that we're also talking about people can really benefit from drinking less... So abstinence is great for me and it works for me, but not everyone's gonna identify with that."
New episode alert! 🎙️
We talk to the amazing @milliegooch
about her journey to sobriety, current shifts in drinking, moderation & more!

Deaths from alcohol in the north of England have increased far more than in the south, highlighting stark inequalities across the country.
Alcohol-specific mortality is 38% higher in the North East relative to the English average.
Yet little is being done to prevent this

"Seventy-two of the 82 transplant websites (87.8%) and 18 of the 39 addiction psychiatry websites (46.2%) used stigmatizing language [“alcoholism,” “alcoholic,” “alcohol abuse”].

Another headline avoiding stigmatising terminology.. hope this is a growing trend (and could even indirectly help the issue highlighted of underfunding of alcohol services via lessened stigma)

"A review of alcohol services in Scotland's acute hospitals found that more than half had a no specialist service at all for problem drinkers or only 'limited' support." @SHAAPAlcohol

As anyone following me may have figured I'm now in treatment for a serious health problem. This has meant standing back from work at LSE. My colleagues are kindly organising a celebration for me on March 2nd: lse.ac.uk/social-policy/even…. Do share. Do keep in touch (email is good)

I've refreshed this illustration after a conference at @UWEBristol last week.
Removing barriers to health services is not about equality. It's about equity. And to be equitable is to actively address barriers...

There’s been a lot of talk in the past fortnight about pill testing. Turning Point is one of a host of Victorian orgs calling for drug checking & early warning systems, because it’s vital we pursue a health-led response to reduce alcohol & drug harm, & do all we can to save lives
