Are you an alcoholic?


Take the Alcoholics Anonymous quiz to help determine if you’re an alcoholic.
1. Have you ever decided to stop drinking for a week or so, but only lasted for a couple of days?
2. Do you wish people would mind their own business about your drinking-- stop telling you what to do?
3. Have you ever switched from one kind of drink to another in the hope that this would keep you from getting drunk?
4. Have you had to have an eye-opener upon awakening during the past year? Do you need a drink to get started, or to stop shaking?
5. Do you envy people who can drink without getting into trouble?
6. Have you had problems connected with drinking during the past year?
7. Has your drinking caused trouble at home?
8. Do you ever try to get "extra" drinks at a party because you do not get enough?
9. Do you tell yourself you can stop drinking any time you want to, even though you keep getting drunk when
you don't mean to?
10. Have you missed days of work or school because of drinking?
11. Do you have "blackouts?” A "blackout" is when we have been drinking hours or days which we cannot remember.
12. Have you ever felt that your life would be better if you did not drink?
If you answered, "Yes," to four or more questions, you should think about your alcohol abuse. For help with an addiction, or to learn more information, visit http://www.alcoholics-anonymous.org/ to find an AA meeting near you.
*I got this from the tyrashow.com. Well, I only got 3 "YES" so I'm not alcoholic. I have nothing to worry about... How about you?
