"Danger Signals
Danger Signals How would you know if you or someone you know is addicted to drugs or to a particular behavior? The following are some danger signal you can use to evaluate your drug use behavior or that of another:
Danger Signals
+ Do people who are close to you often ask about your drug use or repetitive behavior?
+ Have they noticed any changes in your mood?
+ Do you become defensive when a friend or relative mentions your drug or alcohol use/ or your repetitive behavior.
+ Are you sometimes embarrassed or frightened by your behavior under the influence of drugs or alcohol?
+ Have you ever switched to a new doctor because your regular physician would not prescribe the drug you wanted?
+ When you are under pressure or feel anxious, do you automatically take a sedative, a drink, or both?
+ Do you take drugs more often or for purposes other than those recommended by your doctor?
+ Do you mix drugs and alcohol?
+ Do you drink, take drugs, or spend time doing an addictive behavior regularly to help you sleep or even relax?
+ Do you take a drug to get going in the morning?
+ Have you ever seriously thought that you may have a drug addiction problem?
+ If you or someone you know would answer "yes" to several of these questions, you or that individual may be abusing drugs or an addictive behavior. The following table also indicate possible risk factors that may signal addiction to a particular substance or action. If you believe you or someone you know is addicted, it is important to consult the problem immediately before it escalates any further.
