Habit and addiction check
There is a free check for every habit and addiction on this site, 80 in all. Pick yours from the menu, or search the list, and you will go straight to its check. Each one asks how often you do it, what it is costing you and how hard it is to stop, then shows where you sit between an everyday habit and signs of addiction.

Each check is 10 quick questions and takes about two minutes. Your answers are not saved or sent anywhere. It opens on the guide for that habit, so you can read more once you have your result.
