Alcohol / Drug Inventory

(Give this to a friend you're concerned about.)

This list of questions can help you decide whether you are addicted to alcohol/drugs or have the potential for addiction. There are no right answers only honest answers. If you find yourself silently answering yes to more than two questions, you may be addicted or on your way to addiction.
