For some of us, we have been drinking more frequently as a result of being overwhelmed, stressed, bored, fatigued, and hopeless. If you have been in recovery and/or have never struggled with the use of alcohol and/or substances, you may now observe yourself to have developed unhealthy habits, and neglecting the skills that have once worked. You may have noticed your loved ones are deteriorating in various ways, and this has challenged your effectiveness, prompting feelings of hopelessness.
