Life is full of possibities. But that can be overwhelming and we turn to drugs or alcohol to take the edge off. If you need someone to talk to about life and stress, call or text 9-8-8 and talk to someone that understands. #988lifeline#mentalhealthmatters#delaysubstanceuse
Life is a series of changes and we often look to substances to help cope when things are chaotic. But early substance use can hurt your developing brain and increase your chances of developing an addiction as an adult. #knowthefacts#knowtherisks#delaysubstanceuse
On this day of love, celebrate your circle of family and friends. But if you are stuggling with life and stress and feel you need someone to confide in, call or text the 988 Lifeline 24/7 and talk to someone that understands.
Having a hobby, sport, pastime or creative outlet that you love helps to deal with life and stress and can lessen the likelihood of turning to substances when things seem too chaotic.
