Have you noticed yourself engaging in any new compulsive behaviours since beginning your recovery?
Ever wondered if you've swapped one addiction for another? In this episode of 'The Now What Society', hosts Lane Kennedy and Tamar Medford tackle the often overlooked issue of cross-addictions. With over 36 years of combined sobriety, these two aren't afraid to share their own stories of trading one vice for another, be it chocolate cake or cauliflower pizza.
Lane and Tamar explore how even seemingly harmless habits can sneak up and take control, much like their past addictions to alcohol or drugs. They share personal anecdotes, like Tamar's relentless search for her favourite pizza and Lane's popcorn obsession in Bangkok, to illustrate how cross-addictions manifest in everyday life. They also discuss the importance of recognising these behaviours early on and the questions you should ask yourself to determine if a new habit is becoming problematic.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone in recovery, whether you're just starting out or years into your journey. You'll find a mix of humour, honesty, and practical advice that makes the topic accessible and relatable. By the end, you'll be better equipped to identify and address any new compulsive behaviours that might be creeping into your life. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle in long-term sobriety.
