Abstract

In the clinic we frequently see patients with self-admitted heavy drinking who are often in various stages of denial about their problems with alcohol. All the pamphlets and handouts available to patients at Thomas Chittenden Health Center and at Fletcher Allen Health Care are for patients who have admitted they have a problem with alcohol. These patients with admitted problems are the minority of patients with admitted heavy drinking. The patients who have not admitted their problem with drinking need a way to reflect on how their drinking is affecting their lives.
