Another round of sick days at work…using crystal regularly to be “up”...drinking more just to feel “normal”…more broken promises to the ones you love…another DUI…and the irritable moods…
The more someone says “it’s under control,” the more it appears to go the other way. And usually everyone around the person struggling with alcohol and drugs sees it and knows help is needed. There is an affordable and effective treatment option that doesn’t require going to a hospital.
Bill's Story
My name is Bill and I grew up in a two-parent home. My father was the Sheriff of Ramsey County, St. Paul, Minnesota, and my mom was a stay-at-home mother. You might say a typical American family. However, as a child my father worked all the time and my mom struggled with her own mental health issues…and was abusive to my brother and me. When my parents divorced, I went to live with my mother. Two years later she remarried a man that I didn't get along with. I felt totally abandoned, so I started hanging out with an older crowd of kids in the neighborhood and school. These kids introduced me to smoking weed (marijuana) and drinking alcohol. Click here to read the full story.
