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. https://t.co/OTo3ZASQcD

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. https://t.co/rDqMiZLek0

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: https://t.co/VzYcgx9cWJ
