I'm getting the head down. I'm 250 days sober. Really appreciate the support and encouragement from everyone on here as I navigate my sobriety. It's not easy sitting with your feelings, particularly when they're sad or flashbacks but I'm the better for it #SoberLife #TherapyWorks
The significant verbal abuse and intimidation and the intensification of these harmful behaviours towards our TDs and elected representatives is unacceptable and represents a real risk to democracy at all levels in Ireland. Solidarity Eoin Ó Broin, nobody should be treated like that

Mick Finnegan Paul Murphy 🏳️⚧️ Roderic O’Gorman TD The way the Irish government treat victims of child abuse is almost criminal in itself. Thousands of children without services, abuse ignored, brushed under the carpet. Lives ruined because they turn away from their obligations. Children need protection & need support to heal.
What happens around me and what people think of me are out of my control. I'm just out of therapy with my psychologist. Spent a fair bit of time reflecting on what's in my control and what makes me happy #SoberLife #TherapyWorks
People with severe mental illness are 3 x likelier to lose all their teeth and 2 x likelier to have oral cancer found late.
We need more research on how people working with this population can reverse the trend.

Really appreciate Paul Murphy 🏳️⚧️ asking this important question on behalf of survivors. Disappointed & hurt by Roderic O’Gorman TD response. Its a simple question that he has failed to answer by putting the responsibility on an organisation that couldn't care less
