Addictions Assessment

From time to time, each of us will feel addictive urges, and sometimes we will even give in to them. But when you cannot control your ability to give in to those urges despite the fact that your habit or behavior is undermining your health, your relationships, your work, your finances, or your self-respect, you may be suffering from an addictive disorder. Common addictive disorders include compulsive overeating, alcohol or drug dependency, compulsive gambling, smoking, compulsive spending, and sexual addiction.

Knowledge is power, and the best place to start gathering the knowledge you need is with a simple self-assessment like the one below.

Instructions: Answer each question “yes” or “no”. When you have answered all of the questions, enter your name and email address to receive your confidential Addictions Assessment report.
