A questionnaire for relatives and friends:

1. Do you find yourself making excuses, lying, or covering up for someone?
2. Do you have a reason not to trust this person?
3. Is it becoming difficult for you to believe his/her explanations?
4. Do you lie awake worrying about this person?
5. If it is your child, is he or she missing school often without your knowledge?
6. If it is your spouse, is he or she missing work and leaving the bills to pile up?
7. Are your savings mysteriously disappearing?
8. Are these unanswered questions causing hostility and undermining your relationship?
9. Are you asking yourself “What’s wrong?” and “Is it my fault?”
10. Are normal family disagreements becoming hostile and violent?
11. Are your suspicions turning you into a detective and are you afraid of what you might find?
12. Are you canceling your social functions with vague excuses?
13. Are you becoming increasingly reluctant to invite friends to your home?

16. Are you unable to discuss the situation with friends or relatives because of embarrassment?
17. Are you frustrated by ineffective attempts to control the situation?
