How do you know if a behavior has become an Addiction?

By Juan Blea, MA, LADAC, CEP

If someone’s doing something….

…and it seems like it might be making his or her life suck….

then check the behavior against the Three C’s of Addiction:

Addiction Control Consequence Compulsion

Has he or she lost Control of the behavior?

Does he or she do the behavior, even though there are bad

Consequences because of it?

Does he or she do the behavior out of Compulsion?

If you answered yes to all three questions….

Then the behavior has probably become an Addiction

Again, the Three C’s of Addiction are:

Addiction Control Consequence Compulsion
