"Addressing my alcohol use and start living life a bit better, as well as working on my mental health"

My counsellor had told me about Lives Lived Well and I though that id really like to give this a go to continue addressing not only my alcohol consumption but also my mental health. I have used alcohol to cope with my mental health and trauma for most of my life.

Going to Lives lived well Group, I was able to learn some skills and coping strategies to address my problems and learnt to be more aware of myself and others. I felt that it was helpful to not only do group sessions but also have access to a psychologist and have one on one session.

using this service I felt I was able to gain more of a sense of hope and direction as well as feel supported. I feel I'm getting better. 

I feel as though some of the modals could have been worded a bit better but once the group has a yarn about the modals I was easier to understand. 

I felt as though i was support and not alone because there were other people who were going though a similar situation as myself.
