You love a drink, you've always loved a drink

You know you drink more than 14 units a week, but always lie to the GP

You hold down a job, maybe raise children, and are outwardly successful

You’ve tried to cut back but it always seems to creep back up again

You wake up at 3am, unable to sleep and promising yourself you won’t drink tonight

When tonight comes, a glass of wine starts to sound like a good idea again, after all

You’re unhappy with the amount that you are drinking

You don't identify as an alcoholic; you have alcohol free days – you might even have done Dry January or Sober October

You’re tired of putting rules in place, only to find that these rules go out of the window after the first few drinks

The thought of living without alcohol fills you with fear

You see yourself as a drinker and struggle to imagine yourself living without alcohol

You’re afraid of asking for help because you don't want to be labelled an alcoholic
