July Healthy Living Message "Limit Alcohol"

“Each day was a new opportunity.” Veteran Reflects on Sobriety Journey

https://youtu.be/DzYoQnGbZnA

Alison felt unprepared for civilian life when she left the Marines. She behaved erratically and began drinking heavily in an attempt to cope with depression and anxiety. After losing her nursing job, losing custody of her children, and becoming homeless, she sought support. Treatment for alcohol misuse, PTSD, military sexual trauma, and bipolar disorder helped her gain the tools to become sober and improve her relationships with her children.
