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 that it’s private, I can honestly deal with my alcohol addiction without judgment.
-E.U.
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.
-S.H.
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.

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. I was surprised about the BAC estimate, in the sense that I think it was probably a good estimate.
-J.S.
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.

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.
-B.B.
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 online class has completely changed my attitude on drinking and I can’t wait to change.
-H.O.
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.
Thank you. This helped me face things I was trying to hide so I can move forward and change.
-J.H.
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.
I think this is great. As a health practitioner, I appreciate the incorporation of evidence in your questioning.
-F.S.
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.
-K.A.
I have a better understanding of what moderation looks like; how number of drinks over time drinking affects BAC.
-B.C.
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.
-R.T.
This gave me some much needed clarity on where I stand right now.
-C.B.
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 think because I went in wanting some meaningful feedback I was very honest in my answers. The tone the checkup was encouraging.
