What is the Australian government doing about alcohol addiction?

So i recently suffered from an addiction to alcohol and drug addiction and have came to my senses.?

• Like i said, this addiction, well it lasted a good year or so and i used to be able to have just so much fun before hand, i started off using the drugs or alcohol FOR fun, and it got to where i was dependent on it to function, or to HAVE fun. Now i have been clean for a good month and am sure i will never go back cus that was a waste of time, but now it just seems like i can't have fun ever anymore, i just feel like i sit around and never let loose, like i still need those 2 beers or a joint or 2, and ive messed up im aware, but what can i do to fix how i feel and let loose and be myself and allow my self to just have fun in a situation and just relax?

• Answer:

  You need to find alternative ways of having fun that are not linked to you drinking and using drugs. Do you still hang around with the same peer group? maybe you need to think about finding new friends to socialise with. Did you receive help to stop taking the drugs maybe go to your local addiction service to receive advice on how to remain abstinent from drugs n alcohol, somewhere like KCA, Add-action, etc should have one in your local area may be different charities though depending on where you live.
