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.
