Enter how many times per day you currently use a substance. This tool estimates the daily amount you may eventually need to feel normal.
★ This is the best place to be
Zero usage means zero dependency trajectory. This is genuinely the safest place to be. Whatever is keeping you here — whether that's never starting, or having stopped — it matters. Stay here.
✦ Low usage — keep it up
You're in a low-risk range. Your usage is minimal and your dependency trajectory is very manageable. Being aware of your habits at this stage is exactly the right move — staying informed is how it stays this way.
⚠ Intervention threshold reached
Your usage level has crossed the point where family members and loved ones — especially those with children — are typically advised to seek support or consider an intervention. This is a meaningful signal worth taking seriously.
