Understanding alcohol and substance abuse
Nobody intends to become addicted when first experimenting with alcohol or drugs. While celebrated in society, substance use often escalates as a way to avoid depression, anxiety, or feelings of isolation. Eventually, drugs and alcohol can take control of our lives and negatively affect the people we deeply care about.
Continuing to use despite severe consequences is common because physical and mental dependence makes quitting incredibly hard. Yet, recovery is not only possible but can completely transform your life into a deeply meaningful experience.
