Concerned about a Friend’s Drinking or Drug Use?
You’re NOT ALONE!

During informal surveys at Wake Forest, about 80% of students report knowing someone who they think has a problem with alcohol or drugs but less than 15% ever express concern to that person. Barriers to expressing concern are often that the student does not want to upset the friend; they believe that dangerous behavior is normative; or they don’t want to seem hypocritical. Expressing concern can be done in a compassionate way that will demonstrate the strong feelings you have for your friend.

Ultimately, YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE if the person does not seek treatment or changes their behavior. Please contact aod@wfu.edu for private support and assistance.
