The Twenty Questions
Does drinking cause you problems?
These questions relate to common problems with using alcohol. Only you can decide if you have a "drinking problem" and whether you want to do something about it.
1. Do you lose time from work due to your drinking?
2. Is drinking making your home life unhappy?
3. Do you drink because you are shy with other people?
4. Is drinking affecting your reputation?
5. Have you ever felt remorse after drinking?
6. Have you gotten into financial dificulties as a result of your drinking?
7. Do you turn to lower companions and an inferior environment when drinking?
8. Does your drinking make you careless of your family's welfare?
9. Has your ambition decreased since drinking?
10. Do you crave a drink at a definite time daily?
11. Do you want a drink the next morning?
12. Does drinking cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?
13. Has your efficiency decreased since drinking?
14. Is drinking jeopardizing your job or business?
15. Do you drink to escape from worries or troubles?
16. Do you drink alone?
17. Have you ever had a complete loss of memory as a result of your drinking?
18. Has your physician ever treated you for drinking?
19. Do you drink to build up your self-confidence?
20. Have you ever been in a hospital or institution on account of drinking?
(The above questions are used by many chemical dependency counselors in helping clients determine whether they have a problem with alcohol. )
I can remember taking this test one or two or twenty times. I could always answer one or two of them with "no", without looking at the other eighteen or nineteen, or at myself. Enter content here |
