Take this accredited questionnaire if you’re ready to face the reason that you experience 3 a.m. guilt trips and removed “productive” from your vocabulary. Answer honestly to find directions to the proper rehabilitation facility.

Final Vice:
A: the internet
You are a digital being connected by an Ethernet-umbilical cord to the data-uterus that is the internet. But with help, you can shed your dependency on social networks and 30 second videos and live life anew with tangible friends and a healthy supply of vitamin D.
B: sweet tooth
You tread a dangerously delectable path. Studies indicate you may be responsible for the mutagen strain of Type 3 diabetes. But you can also feel guilty about your numerous cavities, that Hershey’s Visa Rewards Card, and that fact that your blood sugar levels could feed an entire village in Zambia for a month.
C: retail therapy
A credit card in your hand is a machete hacking away at your credit score with every swipe. Put it down. Please. For your own good. We don’t want to see you and your collection of designer handbags and DVD box sets out on the streets.
D: swearing
Please! There are children listening!!! You pose no physical threat to yourself, but your vocabulary makes everywhere you go sound like a pro wrestling match. We appreciate your enthusiasm, but tone it down a bit.
E: video games
Your friend with the internet addiction is doing well now. He got a dog, joined a water polo team, and volunteers at the Boys and Girls Club. He misses you. Reality doesn’t have dragons or cyborgs, but it does have motorcycles, waterfalls, and live jazz. Put down the controller and let’s go to the beach.
F: chronic “self-stimulation”
Did you answer any of the questions? Oh goodness. Consider studying carpentry. It keeps your hands busy. I really hope you’re reading this in a private place.
