Spotting the signs of an addiction

There are many signs of an addiction. While these may vary depending on the substance or activity, every addiction has the capacity to greatly impact self-esteem and confidence - inducing troublesome feelings such as shame, guilt, a sense of hopelessness and failure. Everyone is different and some people may be better at hiding their addiction, or they may not be aware it has become a problem, but certain behaviour changes can indicate a problem.

Common behaviours and signs of a possible addiction include:

withdrawing from social activities or neglecting relationships
borrowing money or selling possessions in order to fund their addiction
attempting to hide or lie about the habit
exhibiting frequent mood swings
losing interest in activities or hobbies they previously enjoyed
