Emphasizing the supportive empathy of peers, and elevating the experiential knowledge of people with lived experience of 'substance and substitution' [27,38], affinity and mutual aid among users was a prominent feature of such narratives, resonating with contentions that drug users can and do serve as the primary agents of harm reduction practice [84][85][86][87][88][89]. Here, the 'logic of affinity' shifts attention to the 'revolution of everyday life', where individuals uniting under shared conditions of struggle can create spaces of autonomy beyond the gaze of institutional biomedical authority [8,23,24,90]:…”
