1. NOT COPING

I have lost hope and no longer care about my life. I have hurt my family and now I only have friends who are like me. Life has little meaning. I am heading for rock bottom by blotting out the pain. Alcohol and other drugs are a way of life. I fear I have failed and I feel frustration and anger

1.1. What works

When I hit rock bottom I was given a case worker. I wish I had not waited so long for help. I need to trust myself and to stop thinking negatively. I need to make use of services more regularly and to not distrust myself and others. The only route is upwards and this takes courage. I have found the right combination of help and support to meet my needs. Now I need to be determined and I cannot do this without faith and courage. Belonging to the right support group helps me.
