We can’t do this without your help; please share these blog posts with anyone who may be struggling with addiction so they know where they can turn for help as well!

When I was still drinking, the smallest incident triggered a state of mind that believed it necessary to numb my feelings with alcohol.
But this numbing only made problems worse and led me down an emotionally harmful path – until one night when everything changed..
Nowadays you can find me in therapy every day trying desperately not to think about how much control drinks have over my life or else they’ll convince myself again believing i’ve finally conquered them!
The conclusion of this post should be that alcoholism is a destructive disease.
It’s not something you can control, and the person may think they’re in control when really it’s just an illusion.
Alcoholism affects everything about their life, even to the point where they don’t know how to take care of themselves without alcohol.
Recovery for them starts with one day at time – it’s tempting but fatal to believe otherwise.
