The importance of sharing, why as a lived experience person do you think it’s important to share our stories? And what are we trying to achieve when we do? Especially when sharing with people who aren’t in the madness or in recovery.
Ketamine
Hi everyone, as part of my ongoing professional development in addiction recovery, I’m looking to undertake training focused on ketamine misuse and recovery support. If anyone can recommend courses, organisations, or resources, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

BBC has a great documentary series called the drugs map of Britain which has a good episode on Ketamine

Good stories please
It’s been a wild week at Gateshead recovery connections. Can I hear some good news stories please? As we all know little wins have big impact and anything to boost my moral would be greatly appreciated 🙂 I hope you’re all well and have a lovely weekend. I look forward to reading all of your positive impact stories.
🙄 "Everyone has lived experience" (Rants/Advice Needed)
Hey everyone, I need to vent a little and get some perspective. I was recently chatting with an Exec Director about my work. We were talking about professionalising lived experience, they made a comment, "Well, everyone has lived experience." It made me felt like my expertise was just patted on the head and dismissed. It’s like telling a professional chef "everyone eats food." Technically true, but totally misses the point of the skill involved. Has anyone else dealt with this? Let's open up some raw conversation: 1. How do you explain the difference to people who "don't get it"? 2. Is it even worth trying to educate an ED who thinks like this? 3. What are your experiences, the good and bad? Drop your "comebacks" or stories below! 👇

Recovery connections has developed recovery ally training which I think tried to tackle this stigma and show the importance of LERO organisations. Our aim in the recovery ally training is to allow professionals ask all of those awkward questions in a controlled environment to the staff of the LERO company. We as staff share our experiences and expertise through our lived experience. We do a short presentation on language, how using derogatory terms is sometimes normalised. We also look at how people feel in any recovery and how everyone’s recovery journey is different. I think it’s important that professionals such as police, probation, nurses, doctors, social workers et cetera. can sometimes be damaging in the way that they dismiss someone in recovery and dismiss LERO organisations. However hopefully with this educational training they can become recovery allies and with us all working together and assisting each other we can offer the best support and holistic assistance and care for the people that we work with.
Stress
Sleepless nights, stress and work burnout. What are people doing this weekend to look after themselves so we can be our best possible selves and ready to look after others come Monday morning?
