Struggles with alcohol

"Struggles with alcohol"

About: Lives Lived Well – Nowra (Nana Muru)

(as a service user),

Alcohol has been an issue for over twenty years and I use alcohol to cope.
I’ve been getting angry and stressed and my emotions make me want to drink.

I’ve been coming to the Day Program that has helped me make changes in my life. After I finished the program, it has helped me learn new ways to cope. The companionship of others who are in similar situations makes me feel more normal. I liked the program and now I attend the Aftercare Program.

Dear Red frog,

Thank you for sharing your experience of the Nana Muru Day Program in Nowra with us!

It is so encouraging to hear that you not only learnt ways to cope with your long-term alcohol use, but found like-minded people who you were able to relate to. Companionship is important and sharing your story in a group setting can really assist in learning about yourself, and working out which strategies might work best for YOU!

Well done, and all the best for your continued success in the Aftercare program.

Kind regards,

Lara
