#1 - Ask for help-------- Reach out to someone safe
#2 - Inspire yourself-----Carry something positive, poem or negitive, photo of friend that overdosed or died from alcoholism.
#3 - Leave a bad scene-- When things go wrong, get out
#4 - Persist--------------never,never, never, never, never,give up
#5 - Honesty------------Secrets and lies are at the core of PTSD and substance abuse. Honesty heals them
