Self Assessment: 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.

You do not need to give us any details to take this assessment or to see your results. If you would like a copy sent to you, you can ask for that at the end.
