So they think the only way I'm going to live life if I live on the edge, and if it can't be on the edge of alcohol or drugs, it's going to be on the edge of the relationship, at edge of gambling, the edge of food.
What do gambling, overeating, and unhealthy relationships have in common? They’re all forms of behavioral addictions that often fly under the radar. In this episode of 'Beat Your Addictions', John Giordano teams up with Scott Jones to unpack these lesser-known but equally destructive habits. Drawing from his wealth of experience in mental health and addiction, Giordano sheds light on how these behaviors can mask deeper emotional issues.
He stresses that treating the addiction alone isn't enough; underlying emotional wounds and co-occurring disorders must also be addressed for true healing to occur. The conversation doesn't shy away from the tough topics of shame and guilt, and how these emotions can hinder recovery. Giordano also touches on the role spirituality can play in finding lasting peace. Whether you’re battling an addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a dose of hope.
Tune in to hear a candid discussion that could change the way you view behavioral addictions.
