Free tool · Draft for review

How’s your relationship with alcohol?

A 5-minute reflective check for yourself or someone you care about (answer based on what you observe). No judgment, no label—just a simple snapshot to help you think about next steps. This is not a diagnosis.

How it works

  1. Answer honestly. There are no trick questions—just patterns many people recognize.
  2. See a simple band: lower, mixed, or higher concern. Bands are educational only; a professional assessment is what counts for care decisions.
  3. Choose your next step: learn about virtual outpatient care, read how online compares to inpatient, or reach out to our team—only when you’re ready.
Crisis or withdrawal? If you are in immediate danger, call 911 (or your local emergency number). In the U.S., call or text 988 for mental health crisis support. Alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal can be medically serious—seek urgent in-person care if you may be dependent.

The check

Use the scale that matches each question. Skip nothing unless noted optional.

1. Who is this for right now?
2. In the past month, how often have you used alcohol or substances in ways you later regretted?
3. How often has use interfered with sleep, energy, or how you feel the next day?
4. How often have you missed or shortened work, school, family, or personal commitments because of use or recovery from use?
5. How often have you felt you should cut down—but didn’t or couldn’t?
6. How often have others expressed concern about drinking or substance use?
7. How often have you used to manage stress, anxiety, loneliness, or boredom?
8. How often have you driven, operated equipment, or made important decisions while impaired or hungover?
9. If you stopped or cut back for a few days, how uncomfortable would you expect to feel (physically or emotionally)?
10. How much is secrecy or shame part of the picture?
11. Overall, how satisfied are you with how things are going in this area of your life?
12. (Optional) What would “better” look like in one sentence?

Common questions

Who sees my answers?

In this draft, answers stay in your browser until you submit—and nothing is sent to Sobio unless you later connect a real email capture (not wired here). Production should use HIPAA-compliant tooling and a clear privacy notice.

Can I do this for a family member?

Yes—choose “someone I care about” and answer from what you’ve observed. It’s a starting point for a caring conversation, not a substitute for their own assessment with a professional.

Why don’t you ask for email first?

You should understand what you’re getting before sharing contact info. If you want email reminders or a PDF later, that can be optional after results—Sobio’s approach favors trust over pressure.
