Thank you, @IrishTimes, for making our contribution "Letter of the day". Appreciated. Current ineffective measures & narratives to deal with chronic societal #alcohol problems must be challenged. #alcoholawareness #RecoveryPosse #soberlife #DomesticAbuse #PublicHealth #Ryanair

Good to hear #liveline affirm #sober living, dating etc. Shocking, but not surprising, some people's reactions. Whether a living choice or #recoveryjourney #ProblemDrinking, #Alcoholism, as a society, we need to affirm non-drinking. #Recovery folk are amazing #alcoholawareness

Very serious Instead of taking trivial, ineffective actions in tackling our serious #alcohol problem & associated social problems, a societal rethink on all #alcoholawareness issues is urgent @OCallaghanJim @CarrollJennifer @SeanCanney @JenMurnaneOConn

In Ireland, we're blessed to have a thriving, proven, #RecoveryPosse, peer-support sector, despite lack of recognition and active support. @CarrollJennifer please prioritise this sector instead of funding self-serving, ineffective quangos #recovery #alcoholawareness #budget2025
Real Policy Comes from Real Lives: Why Addiction Strategy Must Start with People, Not Systems – Stuart Patterson For too long, addiction policy in the UK has been shaped more by metrics than by people. It counts attendance, compliance, and prescriptions—while lives unravel

Time to review the millions which have been squandered on useless, ineffective campaigns, feathering many pockets along the way. Crying need for an overhaul to lacklustre campaigning and therapeutic industries which are flourishing on the back of #alcohol #alcoholism

3/4 So, if anyone had insight into podcasting and might be interested in helping us finally getting the project underway, it would be great to hear from you. This is a voluntary, public service, project but, if need be, we should be able to cover some basic costs.

2/4 Now that the media is awash with half-baked, clickbait, stories of recovery and sobriety, perhaps it's time to regenerate the idea, but without the producer our knowledge is very limited. Real people with authentic stories, inspiring hope and making a difference.

1/4 Podcasting project We're new to this, so any ideas or advice appreciated. We'd hoped to produce a series of recovery podcasts, with a quirky take, last year. Unfortunately, it didn't go ahead due to the tragic death of the instigator. (RIP)

From #AlcoholicsAnonymous Big Book. The insight, accuracy & perception here, nearly 100 yrs ago, is extraordinary. Every #PublicHealth #alcohol campaigner, health minister & medic should know & understand it backwards. Failure to do so leads to bad policy #alcoholawareness

Apparently, Diageo has no longer connections with the Guinness Book of Records. But they must be rubbing their paws in glee at the amount of free publicity they still get from it #liveline Time to rename the book and stop this insidious, cunning advertising #alcoholawareness

Sad to hear @RadioBrendanRTE asking if #PopeLeoXIV takes #alcohol, suggesting that it were some measure of a man. Are campaigners deluding themselves that we've moved on from the drug's insidious hold on our society? Unless we have, most measures being suggested are pointless.

Years of #alcohol "expert" advice, little progress #alcoholawareness. Millions squandered Total revamp of measures & methods? "Do as I say and not as I do" approach, seriously undermining effective action? @MichealMartinTD @CarrollJennifer @OCallaghanJim @GaryGannonTD @hse_ymh

Very disappointing that #rtept chooses to showboat #alcohol in relation to #TrumpsTariffs Surely other healthy options more appropriate? No mention of help options for the millions negatively affected by it. @AdStandardsIRE are warnings not compulsory? Stealth #Advertising ?

We desperately need truly informed, credible & authentic voices of integrity in our #alcohol campaigning & #PublicHealth industries. We appreciate people are busy, but we still need a couple of more genuinely interested folk to join us. #rtept #liveline #TonightVMTV #trumptariffs

Disappointing that #tonightvmtv chooses to showboat #alcohol around #TrumpsTariffs Many other less harmful options could have been represented. No mention of help options for the millions negatively affected by it. @AdStandardsIRE is this acceptable? #rtept #alcoholawareness

A rather prophetic posting. Reacting to #TrumpTariffs, much hand-wringing, effectively promoting #alcohol. Not as harmless as candy-floss. #ConsumerProtection? No warning about its horrendous side effects. #alcoholawareness

If only those weeping and whaling about possible #alcohol #tariffs from @realDonaldTrump were as vocal and concerned about protesting the widespread harm and damage alcohol causes. Would they be as protective around cigarette / cyanide tariffs? Support our aims? #StPatricksDay

It's about Celebration and Pride in a nation which has contributed vast multiples of its size to the world. Make it memorable by avoiding #alcohol. Our reputation does not deserve that association, and it's time to shout "enough". #StPatricksDay
