Another night after work means another bar and another drink…only to lead to you wake up the next morning hung over and dreading work again. You’ve got friends, you have your family though they irritate you, and you’ve always got the next person lined up on Tinder. You try to pull yourself out of the hole, to cut back on the drinking, to exercise and take better care of yourself, but life gets stressful and your friends want to go out and slowly you slip back into the life that you know all too well.

There’s been a DUI, the fall out with your parents who are tired of bailing you out or your significant other, and work is getting tired of you showing up late. But all of that isn’t you. You are smart. You have direction. You have goals and life lined up that looks great on paper.  But you feel like you don’t know how to get there without a pill or a drink in your hand. Or there’s a deep depression or crippling anxiety that comes up that adds stress and taking that drink or pill makes it go away.
