When faced with grief and death, many of us (me included) turn to habits or substances like alcohol, drugs, food, shopping, or sex as a way to cope. But when do these behaviours and acts cross the line from being a comfort to a crutch? </p><p><br></p><p>This episode is categorically not here to shame, judge or even endorse. It's here to highlight the various ways we cope and show that we are all just trying to figure some big stuff out and deserve support and compassion in doing so. </p><p><br></p><p>If you are struggling and need direct support with drugs and alcohol, please visit <a href=\"https://www.talktofrank.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.talktofrank.com/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Big love,</p><p>Amber xxx</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with The Grief Gang community:</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Enquire about Grief Gang 1:1 and group circle mentoring <a href=\"https://www.thegriefgang.com/grief-mentoring\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here</a></p><p>Book onto a Grief Gang group circle <a href=\"https://www.thegriefgang.com/booking\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thegriefgang/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a></p><p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/thegriefgang?lang=en-GB\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/TheGriefGang\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCpe5pGmjvqPFteN4L7T_ZA\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Youtube</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@thegriefgang\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok</a></p><p><a href=\"https://thegriefgang.substack.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Substack</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.thegriefgang.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></p><p><br></p><p>If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, rate, and leave a review.
