this might be a hard pill to swallow for college students but getting drunk all the time isnt a personality trait it’s alcoholism

Here’s another pill: companies and ad teams know that your 20s are extremely stressful and they purposely target you because they don’t care about making us all alcoholics as much as they care about profiting off of us.

cooler pill that I’d wish I’d known about when I was younger: if you’re struggling with alcohol, AA isn’t your only option. AA can be a bit dogmatic and sometimes hostile to certain communities, especially the LGBT.

there’s a group called SMART Recovery that has free meetings just like AA, but it’s all science-based and secular.

and here’s the thing for college students: unlike with AA, it’s okay if your goal is moderation and not abstinence. no one is going to make you feel like a bad guy for being young and just wanting help getting healthier, but perhaps not wanting to commit to being totally abstinent. google SMART Recovery, guys. they’re awesome. :)

Reblog for non-religious version of AA

Just be careful to avoid these groups. The Church of Scientology loves to use substance abuse support groups as a front.

SMART recovery is seriously good, and not just for alcoholism. You can go for any addiction and they’re very accepting and understanding. I’ve seen people go in for opiates, marijuana, self harm, uppers, gambling; it’s very much group talk and CBT and you can take it at your own pace. Moderation isnt frowned upon, they are just concerned that you’re not using as a way to cope and that you can live a healthy life without the vice.

For anyone following me who is struggling or has an unhealthy relationship with alcohol!
