Substances of all sorts have been used to alter the mind of the user throughout the history of humanity. As an addict Max shares his experience with alcoholism in this context. **If you or someone you know needs help or someone to talk to, please reach out to someone. https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/national-helpline SAMHSA’s National Helpline, 1-800-662-HELP (4357), (also known as the Treatment Referral Routing Service) or TTY: 1-800-487-4889 is a confidential, free, 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year, information service, in English and Spanish, for individuals and family members facing mental and/or substance use disorders.
