Drinker's Checkup From Dr. Reid Hester

by Dr. Reid K. Hester, Ph.D.

Have you wondered about whether you should change your drinking? Get free, anonymous, objective and confidential help at the Drinker's Check-up.   This scientifically based program helps you take a detailed look at your drinking. It then gives you objective feedback about your drinking, comparing your drinking, consequences, risk factors, etc. to others. It finishes up with a section that helps you resolve your ambivalence about whether to change, set goals for changing, a plan for changing, and offers resources for helping you meet your goals. It takes 60-90 minutes (but you can do it in multiple sessions).   The Drinker's Check-up will not label you nor tell you what to do. What you decide to do about your drinking, if anything, is entirely up to you. If you do decide to change though, the Check-up can help you decide how to change. It also will recommend resources to help you be successful in changing your drinking. Moderation Management is one such resource.   If you find our site to be helpful, please help us help others.
