@Rosesays @sambatch86goog1 @DGiles66 @thameswater Thank you both for your replies. It's helpful to hear of your experiences. What an unbelievable situation.

@DGiles66 Not a peep... I sent messages on their supposedly 24/7 emergency helpline over an hour ago

[Bob Bharij @BobBharij]

@DGiles66 I live on Belsize Road, my home has been flooded. I am trying to get Thames Water on their emergency Twitter and Facebook channels

The Wellbeing Summit 2022 is over. Lots of talk about the current crisis of wellbeing, the need for that to change. Not a single person considered WHY. Unless we address capitalism, attempts at sustaining wellbeing are just managing the symptoms of a broken system. #TWBS22

Inspiring and moving conversations at The Wellbeing Summit 2022 in Bilbao, all focusing on centring wellbeing at the heart of social change work #TWBS2022

[🎙 Andy Ryan 🎙 @In_to_recovery]

So many conversations this week that reminded me of this tweet from a while back...how #addiction is an #adaptation process which imposes its own restrictive ways of being and not an #Identity that can create a fixed cycle -👇

[FoundationforChange @FDNforChange]

#parisisburning is an example of alternative family systems as discussed in our lastest #podcast Making Sense Of the systems we live in.

This is genuinely an incredible opportunity for anyone in early recovery. @FDNforChange is also providing free zoom group meetings that dig deeper into the focus of each episode. Their work has always reminded me of The School of Life- but so much better!

Here’s a taste of the glorious handout which accompanies our latest podcast. In this you'll find us talking about good ol' co-dependency and relationships in #recovery. Also contains swearing and references to 90s club bangers...
