     Take a few minutes to reflect on how you have been feeling over the last six months; then check the boxes that apply to your situation.

---

I am simply unable to relax. My thoughts always seem to be racing. I find it hard to settle down. I often feel tense, "uptight", or on edge. I often feel scared without any good reason.	I feel overwhelmed. I am aware of physical symptoms such as headaches, upset stomach, or tightness in my chest. I am more forgetful that usual. I am easily irritated.
I often feel sad or down in the dumps. The future seems hopeless. I feel tired a lot of the time. I find it hard to make decisions. I frequently feel guilty or responsible.	When I get angry I: Hold it inside. Lash out violently or physically. Pretend nothing is wrong. Think of ways to “get even.”

When I drink, I have a tendency to say or do things I normally wouldn’t do when sober. I neglect my family or obligations when drinking. I tend to use alcohol as a main source of relaxation. I find I do not remember part of the evening. I feel guilty or experience a sense of remorse when I drink.

If you answered "yes" to any 5 of the written questions, or recognize characteristics of yourself in these scenarios, you may benefit from talking with a life coach.
