Routine got me again and I used

I was an alcoholic, I did that many times.

I've managed two alcohol free months this year, mostly by calling up the Samaritans when I was falling apart and about to pick up a drink again.

Some days I called them almost 10 times, it was so painful. It still seemed better than drinking alcohol.

I believe most people who drink alcohol or use drugs as a way of coping with problems are suffering from past trauma, so probably talking to someone is exactly what that person needs. Unfortunately it's hard getting a psychologist or counsellor sometimes with the waiting lists, so the Samaritans can be the most practical option.

I wish you all the best and hope you feel better soon.
