Sources of Help

If anything here feels familiar or has affected you, these organisations may be able to help.

If you drink heavily or regularly and think you may be physically dependent, stopping suddenly can be dangerous. Speak to a doctor or local alcohol service for medical advice.

This website provides general information, not medical advice. If there is immediate danger, call 999. For urgent medical advice that is not an emergency, use NHS 111.
