Ask oneself this ...: To help decide if one is addicted, one can ask himself, "am i dependent on an activity, or on a habit-forming substance, either psychologically (feels a strong urge to do it or use it often; thinks about it all day long) or physically (body and brain feel good after doing it or using it; but starts to get uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms if unable to do the activity or use the substance)?
