If you are experiencing a major change such as divorce, death of a loved one, or job loss - or even positive change such as marriage, having a baby, and getting a promotion.
If you abuse drugs and alcohol and have suffered some legal, financial, health, work, or relationship consequences as a result of your drug or alcohol use.
