Since my blog is about addiction I decided that I should have at least one post that deals with how to tell if someone is addicted to alcohol or some sort of drug. For alcohol, I heard something a while ago that made sense to me. It said that if you think that you have an addiction to alcohol; try not drinking any type for at least 30 days. If you can do it, you probably are not an alcoholic, but if you are not able to last the 30 days, then you may have a problem; but only you can decide whether or not if you are addicted. As for drugs, I was able to find a pamphlet that has 29 questions somebody could ask themselves. As the pamphlet points out, some of the things do not have anything to do with drugs at all, but are relevant questions because drugs affect all areas of a person's life. But as I said before, the user has to decide that he/she has a problem and they must be the ones to decide they need help. The pamphlet and questions can be found at:
