Do you drink alone when you feel angry or sad?
Does your drinking ever make you late for work?
Does your drinking worry your family?
Do you ever drink after telling yourself that you won’t?
Do you get headaches or have a hangover after you have been drinking?
Are you drinking over 40 (men) / 25 units (women) of beer, wine or spirit’s a week?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you may have a drink problem. Approximately 47 in 1000 adults in the UK are dependent on alcohol. When alcohol becomes a way of coping with yourself, your life, your world, it often develops into an addiction. As such it interferes with (and negatively affects) your life, your world, your being, your health!
The solution to an addiction requires self-awareness, positive aspects of self-image, new coping skills and changes - in environment, triggers and perceptions. The choice is yours.
