I was just wondering if I could please get any advice/help regarding my current situation.
I am in my first year (which has sadly just been cut short due to COVID-19), and am now awaiting a zoom meeting with my course leader.
I have started falling behind at University and believe it's unlikely I will pass 2nd year.
At the end of last year, my best friend had a freak accident and died, after this, my already bad drinking problem (Probably caused by my two other friends who died before him) worsened and therefore started missing lectures to get drunk. When I say addiction I don't mean have one too many beers, I mean drinking litre upon litre of Vodka on my own and not seeing any friends. Following my already bad attendance, I broke my arm at the end of the autumn term and missed much of the spring term due to surgeries. I can't help but feel that I am not destined to finish my degree but now I am too scared to drop out as I owe thousands of pounds. I don't want to drop out and I know I'm not stupid and I can do it, but I need an action plan. Has anyone else managed to prevail after a similar experience?
