Stress Management Workshop

So how do you know if you have a problem with alcohol?

• Are you drinking as a way to relax or de-stress?  Many people start using alcohol this way to help them unwind after a stressful day at work only to find it becomes a daily activity that they cannot control.
• Are you repeatedly neglecting your responsibilities at home or at work because of your drinking?
• Are you putting yourself in danger as a result of your alcohol consumption – such as drink driving, operating machinery while intoxicated etc?
• Are you finding that your consumption of alcohol has increased – you are drinking lots more now to get that buzz or relaxed feeling?
• Are you drinking to avoid the withdrawal symptoms?  For example drinking first thing in the morning to help numb the hungover feeling.
• Have you tried to quit but can’t?
• Is your drinking affecting your relationships with your family and loved ones?

If you are answering yes to any of the above questions, you may have an alcohol addiction problem.
