Your Relationship With Alcohol — A Reflection
Surface
A Starting Point, Not A Verdict

Your Relationship With Alcohol

This isn't a test, and there's no score to pass or fail. It's a set of honest questions in two layers: the reasons you're aware of, and the patterns that tend to run quietly underneath — the ones most of us have never been asked to look at directly.

Answer as truthfully as you can, even where it feels uncomfortable. At the end, your answers are woven into a short Alcohol Profile — a mirror, not a diagnosis — to bring into a coaching conversation.

Takes about 10–12 minutes. Nothing here is saved or sent anywhere until you choose to share it. If you notice signs of physical dependency (shaking, sweating, or feeling unwell without a drink), please loop in a doctor — this tool is for reflection, not medical care.
Part One · The Surface

What You Already Know

These are the reasons and beliefs you could probably say out loud right now, if someone asked.

1. Which of these feel true about why you drink? Select all that apply.
2. When do you tend to drink?
3. How much do you agree with these statements?
4. If you tried to describe your sense of control over drinking — could stop or cut back any time you truly decided to — where do you land?
Not much control3
15 · Full control
5. Have you tried cutting back or taking a break before? What happened?
6. If your relationship with alcohol changed, what specifically would you want to be different?
Part Two · Beneath the Surface

What Runs Underneath

These questions aren't about what you believe — they're about what actually happens, automatically, before belief has a say.

7. When you first think about having a drink tonight, what shows up in your body, before any thought about it?
8. Have you ever noticed you've poured or ordered a drink without really deciding to — it just happened?
9. Quick word association — don't overthink it. What's the first word or image that comes to mind? One or two words each is perfect.
Friday evening →
A stressful day at work →
A family gathering →
Being alone at home, evening →
A truly hard emotion →
10. Do you feel irritable, anxious, or "off" in situations where you'd normally drink, but can't or don't?
11. When someone close to you has gently mentioned your drinking, what was your first internal reaction — before you responded out loud?
12. How often do you find yourself thinking about the next drink before you've finished the one in your hand?
Never1
15 · Constantly
13. Picture a version of life with little or no alcohol in it. What's your gut reaction — the very first flicker, not the reasoned answer?
14. Have you noticed yourself drinking faster or more than planned when you're upset — without really deciding to?
