Where exactly are you?
Ten questions to locate your starting point: what motivates you, what sets off the craving, what ended your previous attempts. The output is a starting profile and three actions — not a score out of twenty.
What this quiz is not
It is not a dependence test and it makes no diagnosis. It uses no clinical scale and does not claim to reproduce one. It organises information you already hold, so that the first week is prepared rather than improvised. Questions about dependence, treatments and replacements are for a doctor or a pharmacist.
No answer is sent to our servers: the profile is computed in your browser.
FAQ
Is the result a diagnosis?
No, in no sense. It does not measure dependence, uses no clinical scale and has no medical value. It is an organising tool.
What happens if my score is low?
Nothing bad: it mainly indicates there is preparation to do before setting a date. The profile tells you which parts, in priority order.
Can I retake it later?
Yes, as often as you like. Many people retake it after the seven-day challenge: the triggers they identify are no longer the same.
