CAGE Questionnaire

The CAGE questionnaire was developed in 1970 by John A. Ewing. It is a set of four questions that can be used for the screening of patients for alcoholism. It is merely a screening tool, a place to start in determining whether or not someone has a problem with alcohol. It is not meant to provide a definitive answer.

1. Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking?
   
   
2. Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?
      
3. Have you ever felt guilty about your drinking?    
   
   
4. Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning (as an "eye opener") to steady your nerves or get rid of a hangover?

Codependent Checklist

This checklist was developed by Melody Beattie, author of Codependent No More. It is a set of 10 questions that can be used for the self identification of someone who might have a problem with codependent behaviors. This is not a diagnosis tool, it is merely a place to start in assisting an individual to determine whether or not there is a problem.

1. Do you feel responsible for other people - their feelings, thoughts, actions, choices, wants, needs, well-being, and destiny?
   
   
2. Do you feel compelled to help people by solving their problems or by trying to take care of their feelings?
   
   
3. Do you find it easier to feel and express anger about injustices done to others than about injustices done to you?
   
   
4. Do you feel safest and most comfortable when you are giving to others?
   
   
5. Do you feel insecure and guilty when someone gives to you?
   
   
6. Do you feel empty, bored, and worthless if you don't have someone else to take care of, a problem to solve, or a crisis to deal with?
   
   
7. Are you often unable to stop talking, thinking, and worrying about other people and their problems?
   
   
8. Do you lose interest in your own life when you are in love?
   
   
9. Do you stay in relationships that don't work and tolerate abuse in order to keep people loving you?
   
   
10. Do you leave bad relationships only to form new ones that don't work either?
