Signs of Alcohol and Drug Addiction

EAP Navigator

Drugs and Alcohol

Substance use becomes abuse when you can't control your use of alcohol or other drugs. (Alcohol may be legal, but it's still a drug.) Use also becomes abuse when it disrupts your life.

Substance use may be a problem when you experience the following:

· Difficulty staying close to family and friends
· Problems with getting to work on time or do your job well
· Unable to keep up with your bills
· Using substances first thing in the morning
· Getting defensive when people criticize your use
· Worrying that alcohol and/or drugs won't be available when you want it
· Feeling embarrassed or guilty and that you need to cut down on your use
