Before you even say “good morning,” do you reach for your phone, scroll endlessly, or snack for comfort without thinking why? This self-quiz digs deeper than habits and asks: are you soothing stress, or is a hidden pattern shaping you more than you realize? Addiction isn’t always about substances; it’s about repetition, escape, and your brain craving relief. Take this quiz to see where you stand, without shame—just honest self-awareness to help you take back control, one small step at a time. So, who’s really in charge: you, or your habits?
