Is My Loved One Struggling with Alcohol?

A Self-Assessment for Family Members and Friends

Watching someone you love change because of alcohol can be confusing and heartbreaking. You may find yourself questioning what you’re seeing, wondering if you’re overreacting, or hoping things will get better on their own.

This assessment is designed to help you reflect on the behaviors you’ve noticed. It isn’t a diagnosis, but it may help you determine whether it’s time to seek guidance or support.

Quiz: Could It Be Both?

When we are struggling with deep stress, anxious thoughts, or a low mood, it is incredibly natural to look for immediate relief. Sometimes, we turn to alcohol or other substances just to quiet our minds, get some sleep, or feel normal for a night. 

This short self-assessment is designed to help you pause and look at how these two parts of your life might be influencing each other. It is entirely anonymous and takes less than two minutes.

If you answered "Yes" to more than one question:

Reflecting on how your experiences connect

Answering "yes" to one or more of these questions can be a sign that your mental health and substance use are deeply intertwined. When anxiety, depression, or stress connect with alcohol or drug use, they often feed into one another in a cycle. Recognizing this link is a powerful and brave step toward finding a path that heals both at the same time.

  • A gentle next step: You don’t have to separate these struggles or try to fix them one by one. True recovery looks at the whole picture, and starting with a simple, honest conversation can offer immense relief.
  • Let's talk it through: We have compassionate, real people ready to listen and walk alongside you. Whether your goal is to find balance, heal from trauma, or address both mental health and substance use together—we are here with zero judgment and absolute confidentiality.

Quiz: Do I Have a Substance Use Problem?

It’s common for habits to slowly shift over time, especially during stressful seasons. Often, we find ourselves using a substance to cope, unwind, or get through the day, only to realize it is starting to take up more space in our routine, thoughts, or relationships than we’d like.

This quick, 10-question check-in is a quiet space to reflect honestly on how your use is impacting your life. It is entirely anonymous, completely free of clinical judgment, and takes less than two minutes.

If you answered "Yes" to more than one question:

Reflecting on your routine and finding balance

Answering "yes" to one or more of these questions can be a sign that substance use might be starting to take up a bit more space in your mind, routine, or relationships than you would like. It is incredibly common for these habits to slowly shift over time, especially during stressful seasons, but realizing you want to look closer at those habits is a brave first step.

  • A gentle next step: You don’t have to make any major, life-altering decisions today. Simply giving yourself permission to talk openly and honestly about where you are can lift a massive weight.
  • Let's talk it through: We have compassionate, real people ready to listen and walk alongside you. Whether your goal is to cut back, take a temporary break, or just share your story, we are here with zero judgment and absolute confidentiality.

Quiz: Am I Depressed?

We all experience days when we feel down, exhausted, or just completely unmotivated. But when those heavy feelings start lingering, it can be hard to tell if you’re just going through a rough patch or if it’s something more.

This quick, confidential check-in is designed to help you pause and reflect on how you’ve actually been feeling lately. It is completely anonymous, entirely non-judgmental, and takes less than two minutes.

If you answered "Yes" to 3 questions or more:

Finding a gentle path forward

Answering "yes" to one or more of these questions can be a sign that a heavy mood, low energy, or a sense of exhaustion has started to weave its way into your daily life. Carrying this emotional weight is incredibly tiring, but acknowledging how much you have been holding inside is a profound and brave first step toward feeling like yourself again.

    • A gentle next step: You don’t have to navigate these heavy feelings or find the answers all on your own. Simply letting someone else help carry the weight for a moment can offer immense relief.
  • Let's talk it through: We have warm, compassionate people ready to listen and walk alongside you. Whether you are looking for guidance on how to start feeling better, or simply want a safe, confidential space to share what you've been going through—we are here for you.
