Alcohol & Drugs
Drinking or using drugs too much can cause problems but how much is too much and how do you know if you have a problem? Problem drinking or drug using is not just a matter of how much but also why you drink/use drugs and how much it affects you life.
Do some of these apply to you? Keep in mind that almost no one has them all.
- "My drinking (drug use) sometimes causes problems"
- "I sometimes set limits on the amount I will drink (use) and then exceed those limits"
- "I sometimes lie about or try to hide the frequency and/or amount of my drinking (using)"
- "I sometimes behave very differently when intoxicated (high) than when sober (clean), almost as if I'm a different person"
- "I have a very high tolerance - that is, I can drink (use) a lot without acting or feeling highly intoxicated"
