Do you find that you cannot trust yourself to keep the promises you make to yourself?<\/p><p><strong>Negative consequences<\/strong><br>Are you also experiencing negative consequences from your substance use in daily life, such as difficulty getting up, poor self-care, problems at work and constantly thinking about using even when you are not doing so?<\/p><p>Do you recognise these signs?
