Alcohol support

Where to get help if you, or someone you know, has a problem with alcohol.

When alcohol becomes a problem

Realising you, or a member of your family, has a problem with alcohol is the first step to getting better. You may need help if:

You always feel the need for a drink
You get into trouble because of drinking
Often people warn you about how much you are drinking
