Am I Exhibiting Symptoms of Addiction?

If you have a hunch that you might be addicted to something or you’re worried that you’re in dangerous territory, take stock and have a look at some telltale signs and indicators of addiction. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Is your life consumed by your addiction to the point where it’s more important than your family, your livelihood, and your friends?
• Do you find yourself consuming more and more of what you’re addicted to in order to just stay “normal”? Has your tolerance level risen?
• Are you living more and more of a secret life, where your addiction is in one larger “box” and everything else is in a separate, smaller (and getting even smaller) “box”?
• Are you embarrassed or feel ashamed of your habit? Do you want to stop but just can’t?

The fact that you’re even asking these questions of yourself is a reason to congratulate yourself. If you’ve “yes,” to any number of the questions above, it’s time to take the next step in reaching out for help.
