Substance abuse is something we ignore because we are in the moment. In that instance, we begin to lose more than just ourselves, and we only become aware when everything around us begins to disappear. Listen to how some of the people around us help us get worse, but you have to decide to get better and when to seek help. If you need help reach out to someone and if you don't know who to reach here: Dial 800-662-HELP(4357) SAMHSA
