We're continuing our summer re-release schedule, where we repost our most popular episodes from the past three years of recording.

In this podcast episode, we dive deep into the hidden challenges of cross addiction and transfer addiction. You’ve worked hard to get sober, but now a new struggle may arise - swapping one addiction for another. Transfer addictions often sneak into our lives without us even realizing it. Stay tuned for a conversation with Daniel, Robbie, and Nadine, where we uncover some cross addictions and talk about how to tackle those, now that alcohol is out of the picture. We’ll help you recognize the signs of cross addiction, understand why it happens, and explore proven strategies for overcoming it.

In this episode:

• What it means to have an “addictive personality”
• Recognizing the patterns when addictive behaviors show up
• Why society tries to tell you that “healthy addiction” is okay
• Facing what’s under the addiction
• Temporary fixes and why they don’t work
• The implications and dangers of social media addiction
• Finding a balance with behavioral addiction
• Escaping by helping others so you don’t have to face your own problems
• Shedding unhealthy behaviors and continuing to grow
• Recognizing when something is no longer serving you
