?Am I an addict??
Have you asked yourself this simple question? It may be surprising to know that many addicts grapple with identifying addiction in their own life. Addiction has many definitions, but a way to regard it is to challenge yourself, ?Does this substance/behavior have more control over me than I have over it?? A straightforward query, and provides an addiction test which has comprehensible strategies for gauging an answer.
Here are some addiction test questions which are simple to relate to and may help you in deciding if a substance/behavior could be an addiction:
- Do you ever use alone?
- Have you taken one drug to beat the effect of another drug?
- Do you avoid people or places that you used to enjoy because they disapprove of your using?
- Have you been unsuccessful at cutting back or stopping the behavior or drug use?
- Do you regularly use more than you planned?
- Have you gotten into difficulty with authorities on account of using?
- Have you told lies about using a drug or how much you have used?
- Have you lost any relationships due to your substance use or a negative behavior?
- Have you used drugs to make you feel better about a situation?
- Do you continue to use a drug despite negative consequences?
- Do you have family/friends who have advised you need to scale back or stop using altogether?
- Do you have to use increasing amounts of the drug to get a similar effect as before?
- Have you forgotten things you did or said while under the influence of the drug?
- Has your school or job performance deteriorated since you started the drug?
Answering yes to any one of these is a cause for concern. Three or more positives to these questions indicate you have a substance use problem and you may be an addict.
Declaring a drug is an issue for you takes courage. But admitting the issue is the significant event that allows a hopeless addict to become a hopeful, recovering addict. Acknowledging the addiction is the start of getting better and retaking control over your life.
