Drugs and alcohol

Drugs and alcohol is a very confusing topic, whether you are dealing with drugs and alcohol addiction for yourself or dealing with a friend or family member battling drug and alcohol addiction. When things in life become stressful and overwhelming many people turn to drugs and alcohol but it's not the healthiest nor best option. We are here to talk about this hard topic and always available to share resources, support and advice. Feel free to ask your questions or vent here and check back in one to two business days to see the first response(s) from our volunteers. If you would prefer, we are always a text or phone call away. In the meantime, check out our resources for teens who are recovering from substance use or have family members who are using.

Thanks for messaging Ask Peppy. We see your post and we’re really glad you reached out.
A few of our volunteers wanted to take a little extra time to write back with care and thoughtfulness. You can expect your first response next week.
You matter, and we’re here for you. Thanks again for sharing with us.
