Self-Assessment: Alcohol Addiction
This self-assessment is designed to help you identify key indicators of alcohol addiction and raise awareness about negative, escalatory or cyclical patterns. It is not intended as a clinical diagnostic tool.
Do I have a Problem with Alcohol Addiction?
In Australian society, drinking alcohol in moderation to celebrate or socialise is an accepted part of our culture. But for many Australians and their families, alcoholism can become a real and very damaging addiction.
Whether it manifests as binge drinking or daily drinking, alcohol addiction is a disease which cuts across all age groups, backgrounds, ethnicities and economic classes.
As you read each of the following statements, take your time to think about the answer before selecting the response which feels right. Only you will see the results, so take this as an opportunity to be completely honest with yourself.
Remember, minimising and denying behaviours or consequences, even to yourself, is a symptom of alcohol addiction.
If you’d rather undertake a free, confidential, tailored assessment over the phone — or would like to discuss your results — our team is available seven days a week on 1800 063 332 or contact us here.
All responses are protected by patient confidentiality. Your answers to individual questions will not be stored or saved.
