ALCOHOLISM is a rough
word to deal with. Yet nobody is too young (or too old) to
have trouble with alcohol.
That's because alcoholism
is an illness. It can hit anyone. Young, old. Rich, poor.
Black, white.
And it doesn't matter how
long you've been drinking or what you've been drinking. It's
what drinking does to you that counts.
To help you decide whether
you might have a problem with your own drinking, we've
prepared these 12 questions. The answers are nobody's
business but your own.
If you can answer yes to
any one of these questions, maybe it's time you took a
serious look at what your drinking might be doing to you.
And, if you do need help or
if you'd just like to talk to someone about your drinking,
call us 24 hours a day at 727-530-0415 (or, for Spanish
1-877-209-0523). We're also in the phone book under
Alcoholics Anonymous.
A Simple 12-Question
Quiz designed To Help You Decide:
1 Do you drink because
you have problems? To relax? |
2 Do you drink when
you get mad at other people, your friends or
parents? |
3 Do you prefer to
drink alone, rather than with others? |
4 Are your grades
starting to slip? Are you goofing off on your job? |
5 Did you ever try to
stop drinking or drink less — and fail? |
6 Have you begun to
drink in the morning, before school or work? |
7 Do you gulp your
drinks? |
8 Do you ever have
loss of memory due to your drinking? |
9 Do you lie about
your drinking? |
10 Do you ever get
into trouble when you're drinking? |
11 Do you get drunk
when you drink, even when you don't mean to? |
12 Do you think it's
cool to be able to hold your liquor? |
