Rising Above Addiction | Christopher's Story
Christopher says although he knew he was abusing alcohol, he didn't realize what it fully meant until his drinking caused him to have nausea and the shakes in the morning. He says one morning he woke up feeling awful and like he couldn't go on. Christopher found help at Rogers Behavioral Health and worked through emotional issues he says he hadn't taken the time to address. He says he's grateful he learned about triggers and coping techniques in addition to learning how to share how he feels.
