But what starts as a small habit can easily spiral into a full-blown addiction.

She emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and open communication in recognizing these behaviors before they become dangerous. Therapy and support groups are highlighted as crucial tools for healing and building a fulfilling, sober life.
