When I'm drinking or using I can't stop
You are not the only one.
People start drinking or using drugs for lots of different reasons.
When you drink or do drugs you might:
- Like yourself better
- Feel less worried or depressed
- Be more comfortable talking to people
- Forget the abuse for a while
- Feel like you belong
- Feel less angry or scared than you usually do
- Feel that people like you more
- Feel more in control
- Not have any feelings at all and that's exactly what you want
You probably have more than one reason for starting. Lots of people do. But - if you're finding you can't stop when you want to, it's a problem that can be solved.
