Addiction is a habitual, unwanted behavior that I cannot stop even after a large amount of effort leading to a loss of control.
Ever thought about how something as essential as food can become an addiction? In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the often-overlooked issue of food addiction. They define addiction as a habitual, unwanted behavior that's hard to stop despite repeated efforts, leading to a loss of control. This conversation goes beyond the usual suspects like drugs and alcohol, broadening the scope to include food as a potential source of addiction.
Wes and Austin dig into the complexities of how even something good can become harmful when overused, drawing wisdom from Proverbs to emphasize the importance of moderation. They don't just leave you hanging with the problem, though. The episode wraps up with a hopeful message about recovery, achievable through a blend of Christian spirituality and psychological insights.
If you're curious about the science of behavior change or looking for guidance on your own recovery journey, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice.
