Do You Have a Problem with Alcohol?

If you think your drinking may have become a problem in your life, you may want to ask yourself the following questions:

1. Have you ever tried to quit drinking but could not?
2. How much time do you spend each week drinking? Is it every day? Every weekend? At least three nights a week?
3. Do you sometimes drink more than you planned to drink?
4. Does alcohol still give you the same feeling it once did?
5. Do you ever crave alcohol when you do not have access to it, or find yourself obsessively thinking or worrying about when you can have your next drink?
6. Do you often miss work, school, or other obligations because of drinking or hangovers?
7. Has drinking ever caused you any persistent health problems?
8. Does your drinking ever cause you to end up in dangerous situations?
9. Has drinking had a negative effect on your relationship with family and/or friends?
10. Has drinking caused you to give up your hobbies or other activities you used to enjoy?
11. When you go without alcohol, do you get withdrawal symptoms?

Answering these questions honestly will give you the answer that you likely already know. Alcohol use disorders can develop over time, and slowly take over your life. Luckily, there are people and places to help you stop your problem drinking and take control back.
