With lockdown, I had begun using alcohol as a coping mechanism and it was seriously affecting our relationship. I felt ashamed and didn’t want to repeat the story to every counsellor I called. Using Couple Counselling allowed me to avoid repeated shame, and they found someone who specializes in situations like ours, relationship issues combined with alcohol overuse. (I’m not ready to say dependence or addiction). I’m really grateful to have found what we needed with their help.
