Here are ten signs of an addicted brain:

• Spending a lot of time with it *
• Using it more than intended
• Repeated failure to reduce time with it
• Lying, sneaking, hiding regarding it
• Inability to enjoy other pleasures
• Obsessing, planning, and hoarding of it
• Underlying depression, anxiety
• Work, school, and family deterioration because of it
• Giving up useful activities for it
• Withdrawal symptoms when use stops

* "It" is the addiction, whether it is food, drugs, an activity, or a behavior
