Suicide, Drugs, and Alcohol
by Kevin Caruso
If you are suicidal and are abusing drugs or alcohol, your risk for suicide increases substantially. So you need to get help now for your suicidal feelings and your drug or alcohol abuse.
Please do not delay.
If you need to go to rehab -- Go. You have an emergency on your hands and you need to act.
If a friend of yours needed help because of a drug or alcohol problem, you would help him or her. So, please be a friend to yourself and get help.
And get the alcohol and the drugs out of the house. You cannot have them near you. Period.
If you feel a need to consume alcohol or take drugs, call someone for help. You can call 1-800-SUICIDE for phone numbers and clinics in your area.
And whenever you are suicidal, call 1-800-SUICIDE.
Get rid of the alcohol; get rid of the drugs; and get help now.
If you need help now, call 1-800-SUICIDE.
Thank you for taking action.
If you know someone who is abusing alcohol or drugs and is suicidal, you need to get help for him or her immediately.
Again, the risk for suicide increases substantially when a suicidal individual abuses drugs or alcohol. Call 911 or 1-800-SUICIDE, depending on the situation.
Do not delay.
Thank you.
