Ready... or not?

Are you ready to change your drinking?

If so, choose whether to cut down or quit and make a change plan. Don't be surprised if you continue to have mixed feelings. You may need to re-make your decision several times before becoming comfortable with it.

If not, consider these suggestions in the meantime:

• Keep track of how often and how much you're drinking.
• Notice how drinking affects you.
• Make or re-make a list of pros and cons about changing.
• Deal with other priorities that may be in the way.
• Ask for support from your doctor, a friend, or someone else you trust.
• Take steps to be safe
• Come back to visit this site from time to time

Don't wait for a crisis or to "hit bottom."
