Alcohol Problem ?
- Have you ever tried to stop drinking for a week or so, but only lasted a few days?
- Do you wish other people would mind their own business about your drinking -- stop telling you what to do ?
- Have you ever switched from one kind of drink to another in the hope that this would keep you from getting drunk ?
- Have you ever had to have an eye-opener upon awakening during the past year ?
- Do you envy people who can have a drink without getting into trouble ?
- Have you had problems connected with drinking in the past year ?
- Has your drinking caused problems at home ?
- Do you ever try to get "extra" drinks at a party because you do not get enough ?
- Do you tell yourself you can stop drinking any time you want to, even though you keep getting drunk when you don't
mean to ?
- Have you missed days off work or school because of drinking ?
- Do you have "blackouts" ? (not remember days or weeks)
- Have you ever felt that your life would be better if you did not drink ?
If you have answered yes 4 or more times then you might be in serious trouble, but only you can decide if you are an alcoholic.
I myself only answered 2-3 with a yes, but as time went on I realised that I did have at least 4.
If you decide that you have a problem and would like more information, there will be links at the bottom of this page.
