Get help with alcohol dependency

If you're physically dependent on alcohol, the first thing you should do is talk to your GP. Stopping drinking overnight by yourself could be harmful - even fatal.

Your GP can provide advice, medication (if needed) and will know what support is available in your area. Once you have cut back or stopped drinking alcohol, you may need some long-term support to help keep you on track.

You are likely to be physically dependent on alcohol if you regularly drink over 14 units of alcohol a week. If you want to assess how much you are drinking, you can try our alcohol quiz.
