If things feel heavy right now, reaching out is a sign of strength — not weakness. You don't have to do this alone.
You can find a free, confidential helpline in your country at findahelpline.com. If you are in immediate danger, please call your local emergency number.
Before you stop drinking — please read
If you drink heavily or every day, stopping suddenly can be medically dangerous — abrupt withdrawal can cause seizures or delirium tremens, which can be life-threatening. Please talk to a doctor before you quit, and only reduce or stop under medical supervision.
A doctor, psychiatrist, or de-addiction specialist can assess your situation and build a safe, personalised plan. Government de-addiction centres and many NGOs offer this free of cost.
Tele-MANAS (above) can also connect you to qualified mental-health professionals near you.
Telling one person you trust — a friend, family member, or colleague — makes a real difference. Recovery is easier when you're not carrying it alone.
Recoverly offers emotional support and motivation only — not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
