I Want to Talk to Someone About Addiction Treatment, What Can I Do?

Question by citlally t_e: I want to talk to someone about addiction treatment, what can I do?
I’m addicted to alcohol, and I want to stop now. It’s just that, everytime I do, I experience withdrawal symptoms, and it sucks big time. I have nobody to talk to about this because most of my friends are alcohol addicts too, and they have no plans of stopping. My parents are both away, in another country, and I’m not exactly close to any other relative. I just want someone to talk to.

Calling a helpline is certainly a good idea. Not only would you get to talk to someone about your problem, they could also give you certain information that would help you find an addiction treatment center. You can call 800-559-9503, there’ll surely be someone on the other end of the line waiting to help you. You need to get yourself treated, and I’m glad you’re already taking the first step which is acceptance. Just keep going. Focus on your goal of being sober again. You can do it. Good luck! 🙂
