When I was sleeping in this shop doorway every morning Monday-Friday a lovely woman would give me a couple of pounds, a coffee & muffin, no judgement, & every morning she made my feel human with a simple "How are you today?"
You never forget kindness like that.

I think decriminalising will save lives. I've got decades of personal experience, I've worked front line, I've visited countries around the world learning from best practice, I've buried countless family & friends dead from overdose.
Am I ignorant or simply lying?
Anyone who thinks that decriminalising drugs instead of investing in rehabilitation & recovery is going to save lives is either ignorant of the issues, or simply lying.

Abusive faceless & nameless accounts but not always constantly on my page saying who are you to comment on drugs & homelessness

After much deliberation I've decided to stop Glasgow Overdose Prevention Service for 1 week.
With Easter & schools off plus to look after my own mental health as the harms we see are 💔

Tomorrow when drug death figures are announced for 2022 in Scotland we're likely to see a significate drop from the previous year.

Everyone will be glad to know she is alive but we need a site 7 days a week with add on services or she 100% is not going to live long.
