Your use questionnaire
The questions below will help you think about whether it would
be useful to talk to someone about your drug or alcohol use. If you
answer 'yes' to more than three or four questions then it may be
worth you getting more information or contacting
us for a chat.
Do you drink or use drugs to get away from problems in your
life, or to block out feelings or memories?
Does taking drugs/alcohol actually change your mood?
Are you using drugs/alcohol more often than you used to?
Do you need to take more drugs/alcohol to get the same effects
as you used to?
Has using drugs/alcohol caused problems in your family or at
school or work?
Do other people tell you that you have got a drug/alcohol
problem or that you are out of control?
When you are using drugs/alcohol do you ever end up using more
than you initially planned to?
Do you feel that you can't stop taking drugs/alcohol once you
have started?
Do you feel emotions such as shame, guilt or hopelessness after
you have used drugs/alcohol?
Have you ever used drugs/alcohol to make these feelings go
away?
Have you tried to stop using drugs/alcohol for any length of
time?
Have you ever considered hurting yourself because of your
drug/alcohol use?
Do you continue to use drugs/alcohol even when the consequences
of previous use are unresolved; e.g. getting more drugs even when
you still owe money for the last lot?
