7 signs of substance use disorders you shouldn’t ignore
Many people use substances socially or to cope with stress, but when use becomes frequent or hard to control, it can affect health, relationships, and daily life. Recognizing the warning signs early can help you get the right support.
Here are 7 signs of substance use you shouldn’t ignore—especially if they’ve been affecting you for weeks or months.
1You’ve tried to cut back—but couldn’t You’ve set limits or taken breaks, but use continues despite your best efforts.
2Using substances to cope Alcohol or drugs have become your go-to for stress, anxiety, or sleep, making it harder to cope naturally.
3Changes in mood or focus You feel more irritable, anxious, or foggy. Concentration and balance become harder to maintain.
4Impact on work or relationships Missed work, strained relationships, or skipped responsibilities signal a growing problem.
5Needing more to feel the same You’ve built tolerance—larger amounts are needed to feel relaxed or achieve the same effect.
6Withdrawal symptoms Shakiness, restlessness, or anxiety appear when you cut back or stop using.
7Worrying about your use If you’ve started questioning whether your use is a problem, that’s an important warning sign.
