“The professional help right in my doctor’s office was nice. I didn’t have to go to a place that I didn’t know; I was comfortable in my own setting. If I hadn’t gotten help, I would be dead. I’m sure of that.”

“My health educator helped me by giving me the healthy lifestyle guidelines for drinking so I started with that and I wrote it down on a calendar, all of the drinks I was having, and it was a real visual picture. If I hadn’t got help through WIPHL, my life would still be drinking every day, headaches in the morning, sluggish, the pattern over and over.”

“When I went into the doctor’s office and met with the health educator, it motivated me toward what I was feeling already, I pretty much already knew where I stood with alcohol and drugs, I didn’t know how much it was damaging me. I only met with (the health educator) two to three times, but it really stuck with me. I didn’t need to keep coming in or keep calling her.”

“I believe if I hadn’t gotten help, I would have lost my job by now. I wouldn’t be able to pay my bills; they would have taken my car away from me. I would have lost a lot if I hadn’t talked with (the health educator).”
