"I encourage people to get help when feeling down"

About: Phoenix Futures / Trafford drug and alcohol services

(as a service user),

I was in a very low point in my life where nothing mattered to me. I turned to cannabis to help relieve my pain. Also I had a problem with alcohol where I was drinking every day.

Sine I have been using this service it has helped me a lot with dealing with my issues instead of finding a way to cope with them (turning to drugs or alcohol).

I haven't fully stopped smoking cannabis but this service has helped me cut back from it and stop it destroying my life.

I have reached a new high point in life because I have been discussing my issues instead of locking them away. In time continuing this service will help me to deal with the low points. I really appreciate what this service has done for me and I do encourage people to get help when feeling down or having issues related to drug and alcohol misuse
