Self-Medicating: Finding Healthier Ways to Cope with Life's Challenges
When you do substances now, you do something to yourself and it starts eating you up from the inside and you start becoming something very different and you'll never get to know who you would have been and how you would have been.
Life has a knack for throwing us some pretty tough curveballs, and when it does, it’s easy to reach for quick fixes like drugs or alcohol.
