Self-test

Am I an addict?

Only you can answer that. These twelve questions are the ones members of C.A. found hardest to answer honestly before they came in. Nothing you click here is stored, sent anywhere, or seen by anyone.

This is not a diagnosis and it is not a medical instrument. C.A. members are not doctors, and the fellowship has no opinion on anyone’s treatment. It is a mirror, nothing more. The official C.A. Self-Test pamphlet is published free by C.A. World Services.
