When I was homeless on the DTES, I didn’t care if I lived or died.

Every waking moment was driven by the need to consume; to forget. The suffering, born of abandonment and severe, intractable grief, obliterated anything resembling choice. I will never truly ‘recover.’ 1/

Tues we spent the day with leadership for Medicaid, HHS, & Corrections for all 6 New England states and Feds to share lived experience of recovery and HarmRed. Advocating for the need for alternative payment models for peer-recovery supports. #nothingsboutuswithoutus

the utter dehumanization of people with addiction & by extension, anyone who needs pain medication, must end in medicine.

There's a lot to chew on in Zachary Siegel's latest on Sam Quinones' investigative noir take on the overdose crisis, but what struck me was Quniones' contempt for those he covers.

He does not describe PWUD as people, but as anthropomorphized symptoms. tanag.substack.com/p/sam-quinones…
