FIRST UK RECOVERY MARCH HAS HAPPENED

Almost 1,000 people lined the streets of Liverpool to celebrate recovery in public for the first time in the UK.

"This is no longer about the problems of addiction. It is about the solutions - and these people prove that."

"Hope" is a word which many used for years - now it has matured into "belief!"

I have just been looking at the WiredIn coverage of this event and noticed a strange comment in response to the NTA's absence at the recovery march...

Peter McDermott, a Board member of the National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse, writes on WiredIn that the NTA's "smoking gun will say something like 'Appearing at this event does not meet our communications objectives at this moment in time'"

But perhaps we should not be surprised that McDermott and the NTA have objectives other than recovery of people we taxpayers pay them to help.
