Do you still have "politics addict" or "political junkie" in your Twitter profile? It's 2018 - why are you broadcasting that you don't understand addiction? Why are you taking pride in intellectual laziness? You need a thesaurus? Hit me up. #vtpoli #btv #vt
People may use because a disorder tells them they must. They use alone because we tell them they must. That's what we're doing in effect. We can do a lot of things differently.
2000 days since my last opioid. In some ways (only a few), the past 2000 days have been harder than the previous 2000. Back then, when someone died, I could easily numb out those feelings. Now? I have to do things differently. We can do a lot of things differently.
Please indulge me for a rare (but brief) thread of personal comments. I was on a city bus in Copenhagen early this morning. A young man clearly suffering from mental illness was screaming angrily. Not an unusual occurrence on urban transport. Passengers ignored him. 1/
It was a reminder that some values - like caring for your fellow citizens in a time of crisis- are universal. It was a reminder that immigrants and refugees bring incredible skills with them. It is not newcomers we need to fear, but the assumptions we make about them.
Normally, I do my best to avoid trolling. But considering Paco represents @BTV_GOP, this must be addressed. This statement not only reveals a profound ignorance of substance use disorder, it perpetuates stigma and promotes dehumanization. #vtpoli #btv x.com/pacobtv/status…
Am I the only one who struggles to read a full methods paper because I find a reference I was unaware of and start reading that, then stop in the middle to try to go back to the first then get distracted again by a new reference?

2000 days since my last opioid. In some ways (only a few), the past 2000 days have been harder than the previous 2000. Back then, when someone died, I could easily numb out those feelings. Now? I have to do things differently. We can do a lot of things differently.
People may use because a disorder tells them they must. They use alone because we tell them they must. That's what we're doing in effect. We can do a lot of things differently.
My addiction didn't start with a prescription. Our friends aren't dying from taking medications as prescribed. People buy heroin on the street. Sometimes that heroin has fentanyl in it. That can be a problem when people use alone. People overdose. When they OD alone, they die.
We will never 'prevent' ourselves out of an #overdosecrisis. Prescription take back days do nothing to stop #fentanyl overdose deaths. Demonizing pills themselves only leads to harm for pain patients.
.@fordnation It's my 24th birthday. Given the whole #BuckABeer thing, I'd ask that you please consider providing a two-four. And by "providing a two-four" I mean reinstating the basic income project that could provide low-income couples with up to $24k. Thanks :) #BasicIncome
.@VTAttorneyGen, maybe we could attribute that language to NA literature, or add quotation marks? Seems out of step with the rest of this site.
Please indulge me for a rare (but brief) thread of personal comments. I was on a city bus in Copenhagen early this morning. A young man clearly suffering from mental illness was screaming angrily. Not an unusual occurrence on urban transport. Passengers ignored him. 1/
Finally, this story is a reminder that we routinely avoid engaging with our fellow citizens. Every one of the bus passengers I spoke to had a fascinating story, yet we only spoke because of a violent incident we witnessed. It shouldn't take a tragedy to get us talking. 7/
There are uplifting parts to this story, but I don't want to gloss over the fact that, in all big cities, we've come to see people with severe mental illness as an invisible part of the urban landscape - we avert our eyes until a tragedy happens. /6
It was a reminder that some values - like caring for your fellow citizens in a time of crisis- are universal. It was a reminder that immigrants and refugees bring incredible skills with them. It is not newcomers we need to fear, but the assumptions we make about them.
