LHM Youth Lifestyle Information – Drugs and Alcohol

As you grow into a young adult with half a working heart you may see your friends and peers starting to experiment with drugs and alcohol. It can be hard to say no when you want to fit into certain social circles.

There can be lots of pressure to try different things, but when you have half a working heart there are extra risks that you need to think about.

Ask yourself, if seriously risking your health is worth it for a friendship group that are not trying to understand your situation.
