You're realizing that your substance use is getting in the way of your life:
- Your health and well-being are compromised by continued use
- Important relationships have been damaged or lost
- Work, education, or other responsibilities have suffered

- How do I face the pain and problems I’ve been numbing with substances?
- Will others ever trust me again after the harm I’ve caused?

- How do I build a life that doesn’t center around using or recovering?
You’re longing for…
- Freedom from the compulsion to use substances.
- Self-forgiveness and a path to make amends to others.
- Healthy coping skills for the emotions substances helped manage.
- A supportive community that understands recovery.
- Identity and purpose beyond substance use or addiction.
- Hope that a different life is possible and within reach.
