Where can I get support? Alcohol and You is a website that has information and a self-help section. www.alcoholandyouni.com The website has a range of online information and alcohol tools within their ‘Resources’ section.
Its main feature is the online alcohol self-help section that can let you work at your own pace with a drinks diary, unit checker and more.
For support on alcohol and drugs across Northern Ireland see: www.drugsandalcoholni.info
If you think you are dependent on alcohol see your GP for a referral to the Community Addiction Team.
Are you affected by someone else’s drinking?
Support is available for family members affected by another person’s drinking or
drug taking. The person misusing alcohol or drugs does not need to be seeking help
with their drinking for you to make use of this service.
