It’s been a year since the release of #bbchooked most emotional episode. This meant the most and took the most out of us; it was worth it. The friends/families voices’ are often overlooked, #addiction has a ripple effect but so does #recovery. All eps still available (pls RT) ❤️
"I’ve never seen somebody look so desperately sad"
"I'm really sorry"
"How the **** can you pick up a drink?"
Melissa and Jade speak to friends and family about how their addictions affected them.
Listen to #BBCHooked podcast on @BBCSounds👇

Interesting read from @NHS_APA on shifts to online working at @CNWLNHS through #COVID19

Huge loss for #Liverpool. The Brink provided a safe, accessible platform for so many people to access support, share ideas and connect. Also a great venue for music and community events. It’ll be missed. – at Garston, England

Interesting blog by @ian_hamilton_ - sparks thoughts on how alcohol is a familiar & reliable 'exit' from stresses for many - in absence of access to other exits (including connectedness( during #lockdown, no surprise re potential tipping point into more problematic drinking
We are in denial about alcoholism in this country.- my latest for @Independent independent.co.uk/voices/alc…
another perspective -

One of the under-reported findings from surveys of drinking during lockdown is in the detail of @AlcoholChangeUK survey.
While 22% drank on fewer days and 21% on more days, the figures on amount consumed per day were less balanced, 42% drunk less and only 13% drunk more.
Perhaps smaller scale qualitative studies can help pull out the specifics of who is most at risk and relational processes - an example here? xitter.gq/DrEmilyNi…
