The Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST) is a simple, self-scoring test that can help you determine if you have a drinking problem.  It can be accessed at:

Of course, this is just one simple, but effective, tool.  The are other signs that alcohol, drugs or gambling have become a force for self-destruction in someone's life.   For instance, do I continue to use alcohol or drugs - or gamble -  despite negative consequences that keep arising from these behaviors?  Have I tried to quit repeatedly or control these behaviors around drugs or gambling, without success?  Has my using drugs or alcohol, or my gambling, cost me a job or relationships?  A positive answer to any of these questions may indicate a need for help from others, including professionals.
