Relapsing isn’t something to feel ashamed or guilty about.
It can even help you to understand your own recovery better. If you’re recovering from an addiction to drugs or alcohol, a relapse doesn’t have to mean the end of that journey. changegrowlive.org/advice-in…

Having a slip-up and smoking when you're trying to quit is not something to feel ashamed about. And it does not mean you’ve failed.
Sometimes it takes a few attempts before you quit for good. All that matters is that you keep on trying. changegrowlive.org/advice-in…

Treatment for Hep C has changed a lot over the last 10 years.
It's now a course of tablets between 8 to 16 weeks long with very few side effects.
Don’t be misinformed, ask your local service and get tested: bit.ly/3D2ObAk
