Life is hard. Loss sucks. Sometimes we find ourselves searching for a way to manage and end up turning to substances to cope. We find ourselves turning towards these things to numb difficult emotions, self-medicate overwhelming symptoms, or to escape painful memories.
There is nothing wrong with you. You are not a bad person. You are doing your best to deal with pain and difficult experiences. Grasping at any relief you can get. Now you are finding that although it works temporarily, it doesn’t take away the pain forever and in fact may be making things worse.
I am a Licensed Addictions Counselor with over 10 yeas of experience helping people heal from substance use so they can find balance in their lives.

You do not need to walk this journey alone.
