oppositional defiance disorder - still not clear on the negative Is that just not doing what you're told?
“I don’t think your life has any meaning or is worth living but I promise, it’s me that cares about you. Not the people preventing you from dying and treating you like a human and with respect and all that.”
Right, thats it - I'll give it the weekend and then its medicated sleep. No i am too old for this
A lot of ppl cannot protest - they are trapped and there is a risk. How did we stop the poll tax? What are we holding as our weapon to say 'you forgot who we were and we can hurt you' Not sure demonstrations have the same power they used to have tbh
For ppl doing unregulated shit with our ppl - do you set any boundaries/rules/lines? what are they if so? Back in the day (when did this happen ffs!) there were user booklets, help info, experiences - but nothing really now, anyone got a copy of that stuff?
Recovery has become an icky word to me. I just think Dumb & Dumber with their cities and 6 steps. Or, those ppl who are fellowship but dishonestly masquerade using the word recovery. Yeah, you really must believe in that concept if you can't even say its name! I'll keep user
Unfair? Anyone can call me names I don't like, disparage the choices I make, dismiss my voice, deny my right to choose my lifestyle & actions. If I do any of that - I'm a bully, I'm negative, I'm problematic You're enabling discrimination, bullying, abuse. Its time to stop
some posts are - too nice not to repost on my feed

Thinking that you are somehow a better mother because you are a victim of DA and we are drug users in relation to family court. I'm not clear on how you like to position yourself as better. How would you know anything about other cases? Does it make you feel better to do it?

Young People - it is almost as outrageous as the drug sector (which misses out the reality of YP drug use). You use YP as promo or when you want to invoke victim roles (for a minute) but let's not lie, you're writing them off (often for life) for being exploited, vulnerable.

I have no urge to convince you I am right or what I am saying is correct My urge is to convince you to look at yourself, the system, the data. My role was to make sure that the sector didn't keep ignoring mothers - I am not here to defend a position, just the truth.
recovery is a lifestyle option - effective treatment needs to happen to have a choice in any lifestyle.

Over 800 people registered for today's #DRDevent Delegates are currently hearing from @CatrionaMath, who has started the day by providing an overview of (potential) responses to the Scottish drugs poisonings crisis
I was born for war, I thrive on hate, I don't care about others' words or opinions unless I care about them, I am unafraid of confrontation or the truth. If you think I am difficult - you're probably right. It will mean I am difficult for you to handle/control/shut up
No, I don't want to discuss it - no, there is no 'other side'.

@annaddition A network of hubs you say ❤️
@annaddition Yeah for sure. In a similar vein, It’s a hard line to balance with educating / making people aware of harms but without it turning into casual stigma (which could deffo happen)
@annaddition I'm really annoyed by it. I've been trying to get this info for 42 months now. I feel like this Magistrates Court is always really hostile to me for some reason. Xx
@annaddition I agree! I’m not sure if this had an impact but smoking is way less common in popular culture/television over past few years. Plain packaging + graphic imagery definitely made it less ‘cool’. Prevalence (and acceptance) in culture of booze deffo a big issue for education on harm

@DanaLarsen @shdwstar It’s conversion therapy
Abstinence-based addictions treatment is not about healthcare. It’s about demanding that we demonstrate our compliance with arbitrary norms around drugs and drug use in order to regain our place in the social order
Tucker Carlson looks like he was calling the cops on people for having music too loud. Before he even graduated from high school. LOL🤣
We block accounts that call us names…they generally do so when they have nothing of substance to say anyways.
@annaddition It’s an interesting point for sure. Does the illegality / subcultural links and general mystique of illicit substances give it a bit of a brand anyway? Definitely no single solution but a cohesive strategy and awareness raising might help
