Are Drugs a
Problem For Me?

Signs that it might be time to get help for your drug use:

• Difficulty getting through the day / night
• Not functioning to your usual standard (at work, at school, at sport)
• Relationship problems – conflict with your partner or family, losing friends, not being there for your kids (or feeling like you’re letting them down)
• Being unable to cut back or to stop using drugs
• Having powerful urges to use
• Needing increased amounts of a drug to get the same effect
• Being unreliable or losing interest in things you used to enjoy
• Engaging in risky behaviours
• Behaving inappropriately – from making mistakes to seriously bad or even criminal behaviour
• Experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, paranoia, or feeling like you’re losing your grip on things
• Feeling ill or having signs of withdrawal when you reduce or stop using.

If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these things, it might be time to reach out for help. Even if none of the above seem relevant to you, if you’re concerned about your drug use, Helm may still be able to assist you in working towards your goals and improve your overall quality of life.
