Grief, Addiction & Mental Health

​Addiction And Suicide - By Jeffrey Juergens
Addiction and suicide have a very complicated relationship, where addiction greatly increases the risk of suicide and suicidal thoughts and
tendencies greatly increase the risk of addiction.​

Alcohol and Grief - By Cooper Smith of Alcohol Grief Guide
People who suffer a loss will experience grief in many ways. While some can come to terms relatively quickly, others will look for external ways to cope.
Alcohol has become an all-too-common means of dealing with that grief.
