I've spoken at a few Addiction Recovery Conferences in my time, but I've never been invited to perform my poetry at them!
Creativity is integral to #recovery.

Love that the government’s official Recovery Champion and one of the UK’s very best #recovery researchers chooses to spend time at a grassroots activist event like the #ukrecoverywalk. Dr Ed Day, everybody. @EdDay71

Check out the amazing things our friends at Fallen Angels Dance Theatre @FallenAngelsDT, collaborating with the wonderful recovery orchestra @newnoteorc, are up to in London next week! 👏
The participants who generously shared their thoughts & experiences in relation to spirituality & higher power with the Higher Power Project research team have made a significant contribution to a wider appreciation of this often misunderstood element of addiction recovery.
Humbled to learn that I'll receive the Recovery Researcher Lifetime Achievement Award at the upcoming DBRecovery/UKESAD conference. I always hope my work busts myths & makes recovery pathways more accessible. Lovely to receive an award acknowledging that it does this. @uochester
Gratitude, as always, to the 107 participants in the Higher Power Project who shared their experiences with and/or thoughts about the HP element of the 12-Step program. Here @WEDossett talks about the significance of the conceptual/experiential diversity shown in their accounts.
The 12-step programs talking about a “higher power” are more flexible than you might think.
A Tyee Q&A with @WEDossett, whose research probes how people can conceive of their addiction recovery.

At their peak there were around 3000 sure start centres - a one stop shop for under 5s and parents - more than a thousand were closed in post 2020 austerity - others folded into other services. Now we have long term @TheIFS research that they paid for themselves

It's been a long time coming, but today I finally submitted my PhD! Huge thanks to @DrGordonHay @LPorcellato and everyone who helped me limp across the finish line. Also apt that today is #NoSmokingDay2024

An honour to be one of two keynote speakers today at The Royal College of Psychiatrists @rcpsych Spirituality Group conference. (The other was Prof Kenneth Pargament!) Good to bring the voices of the Higher Power Project to a professional audience.
