I appreciated the neutrality of the language as well as the clear agency given to me. I have not sought out other programs because they often seem too preachy or feel like they want to “fix” me.

I'm so happy about this option. The price of this service scared me at first, but then I thought about how much I spend on wine monthly and it seemed a good trade. Thanks for providing an attractive and easy to use support system.

I like the fact that this checkup gives me a nuanced and realistic assessment of where I stand at the moment, and what I can do next. That reduces feelings of hopelessness and depression and motivates me.
— H.G.
Doing it online in a form it was easier to be honest about my actual drinking habits I think if I was talking to a live person, I would feel ashamed and be tempted to minimize things. I also tend to learn best by reading so this particular style of self-assessment is quite helpful for me.
— E.T.
This CheckUp is so helpful in that it gives immediate feedback. I can’t say I was shocked with how bad my drinking has become but by seeing it in comparison to others, in charts and graphs and in writing, this impacted me more than anything has so far.
— O.L.
I really like that the CheckUp experience asks very specific questions. It doesn’t “judge” or scold you for your answers or results, it simply presents the facts. It is very helpful that it presents forms to help in making plans of action for change.
— D.J.
The assessment was very thorough which was good and gave me a very good idea of the extent of my problem…I like how this program gave suggestions with statistical information but still gives the user the choice.
— K.C.
I appreciated the blend of “check the response” and personally written questions and how each managed to be informative and reflective. I also liked how there were sections informational sections and professional education embedded throughout the CheckUp.

I like the daily reminder being sent to my phone. I like all the information about the reality of addiction. good resources. A very good tool so far. And not pushing to abstain at first.
— R.M
It was a lot more detailed than I expected or have seen elsewhere, consequently giving me a more detailed and accurate picture of my relationship with my drinking and how I compare with others. Very informative!
— H.D
CheckUp walked me through a non-judgemental overview of my drinking history, problems and goals. I’m 30 minutes in and it’s already worth every penny.
— I.S
The information is provided without emotion — it’s straightforward and direct. The questions seem to get at the broader causes of realities of drinking, and the resulting feedback feels very real and helpful for me.
— L.F.
While I have been working with a very helpful counsellor, I particularly liked the whole exercise, namely the degree of expertise and what appears to be a very science based approach along with the workflow and how it eases you in.
— P.H
I appreciate the validated questionnaires and clinical approach. Applying science to my current struggles seems like a good fit for me.
— A.Z
I like that it was pretty easy to understand, often times when I have had to a health questionnaire online, the questions don’t make sense and are super long.
— R.H
The results were eye opening, I didn’t think I spent as much money on wine as the website said. Very helpful to look at things from a money perspective.
— E.P
I like the fact that it has data to back up statements being made, and it shows where I am compared to the general population in a number of areas.

I have a better understanding of what moderation looks like; how number of drinks over time drinking affects BAC.

I think this is great. As a health practitioner, I appreciate the incorporation of evidence in your questioning.
— F.S
I liked the way the questions were framed. There is an increased mindfulness when answering specific questions about a drinking pattern that helps to open one’s eyes to see the pattern for what it is.
— M.Z
Thank you. This helped me face things I was trying to hide so I can move forward and change.

I love how you made the user to not be afraid to tell you everything, while having them come up with their gameplan. That really simplifies it for the user to make it easier on themselves.
— H.C
This online class has completely changed my attitude on drinking and I can’t wait to change.
— H.O
The percentages and numbers really made me step back and take a hard look at how much I use drinking as a coping mechanism and how I compare to the general population.
— E.R
This CheckUp experience was very user friendly. The information was very eye opening. I like the way it showed me just how much I’ve been consuming, how much I’ve been spending, and how I rate with others. I also appreciate how it showed the likelihood of success and didn’t place judgement in any way.

This was a very thorough and appropriate inventory of issues, thoughts and aspirations about my problem with alcohol. Surprisingly so, in fact. It got me “right”, I think: it made sense to me, at least as far as I think of myself and my drinking problem.
— J.S
It gave me an opportunity to look at myself objectively, without feeling judged. I was able to be honest with myself, and that enabled me to get feedback that is, well, sobering. It helps me understand more than ever that I need to make some changes, and it helps me also understand that that’s possible.
— J.G
This gave me some much needed clarity on where I stand right now.

My doctor kept asking me what my plan was. I didn’t know how to make one. Now I have a specific plan and it seems so obvious to me.
