Do you worry about how much someone else drinks or uses other drugs? Do you have money problems because of someone else's drinking or other drug abuse?

Do you blame the substance abuser's behavior on his or her companions? Are plans frequently upset or cancelled, or meals delayed because of the substance abuser? Do you make threats, such as, "If you don't stop drinking or taking drugs, I'll leave you?" Do you secretly try to smell the substance abuser's breath? Are you afraid to upset someone for fear it will set off a substance abuse bout? Have you been hurt or embarrassed by a substance abuser's behavior? Are holidays and gatherings spoiled because of substance abuse? Have you considered calling the police for help in fear of abuse? Do you search for hidden alcohol/drugs? Do you often ride in a car with a driver who has been abusing alcohol/drugs? Have you refused social invitations out of fear or anxiety? Do you sometimes feel like a failure when you think of the lengths you have gone to control the substance abuser? Do you think that if the substance abuser stopped abusing alcohol/drugs your other problems would be solved? Do you ever threaten to hurt yourself to scare the substance abuser? Do you feel there is no one who understands your problems?

If you answered "yes" to 3 or more of these questions you may have a problem with alcohol or drugs.
