Getting help
Do I need to go to a service?
It’s normal to feel unsure about whether you need support. If your current drinking habits have been on your mind, our Drinking Check is a good starting point to get a clearer picture of how alcohol might be affecting you.
What happens when you contact an alcohol support service?
Reaching out for the first time can feel daunting, but alcohol support services are there to welcome you and listen. Teams are friendly, understanding, and trained to help you make sense of what you’re feeling. You don’t need to have everything worked out before you reach out. Many people say they feel a sense of relief simply by talking to someone who cares.
What other support can I reach out to?
If you’re not ready to contact your local alcohol support service, there are other ways to get help and find space to reflect on your drinking.
