Having a meaningful daily structure as part of recovery from drug/alcohol dependency is so often overlooked.
It’s our moving forward group today. Today’s session is about structure, we sometimes take for granted how much we need structure in our lives and how for some of us it’s natural, we got to work etc, we are working with people to build structure and capital into their lives.

We've just made Naloxone easier for our front line workers @AddactionUK to give. (Simpler policy and procedure, shorter form, nasal option, etc.) Here's one reason why. medium.com/addaction-voices/…
