Addiction & Substances
The hardest battles are with oneself. Nobody asks for addiction; it hijacks one’s life. The loss of self-control is painful and isolating for everyone involved. Cravings and urges may seem impossible to resist.
Other priorities fall to the wayside as they grow. Feeling remorse, hopeless or powerless are signs we need help. When you or a loved one is struggling, this is the first step to regain control.
