Mental health and addiction

Mental health and addiction

Hi, I am battling mental health and addiction currently. I have been having difficulty maintaining sobriety and wonder if anyone has any suggestions on what to do.

Hi @bigtiny13 welcome to the forums

Thank you for sharing a bit about what's going on for you right now.

Is this something that you've tried to address previously, or is this your first time seeking support for this?

A good resource for you to check out (if you haven't already) is Turning Point who offer free drug and alcohol counselling 24/7

Hey @Pandora80 just a lil tip, if you want other members to be notified that you've responded, you can tag them - use the @ symbol and a drop down will appear, and you can choose their name. If their name isn't there, you can type it out and it should then appear for you to select, then it will show up in blue, like this: @bigtiny13

Hey @bigtiny13

Welcome to the forums. I would probably go and get a Mental Health Care Plan so that you can access the 10 sessions of a psychologist, and start to work through some of the issues. How are you doing today?

Welcome @bigtiny13, hope you're days getting better 😊

Taking things one step at a time, one day at a time and not being too hard on yourself if you relapse would be my little tip. Celebrating each little win and having professional support throughout your journey can help too 💗

I hope when you are ready you can come back on here and let us know how you are going.

It is really tough, I have been there myself
