It’s about excessive alcohol consumption

"It’s about excessive alcohol consumption"

About: Lives Lived Well - Woolloongabba

(as a service user),

I developed an alcohol habit in my later teens and early 20’s. I felt bad about it since there was a lot guilt around it. I felt alone since many people did not understand the problem. In fact it was hard for me to accept my own problem. It took me a long time to accept it and make some serious changes and lives lived well helped me achieve a lot of my goals.
