When an addict stops drinking or using drugs, their addictive personality typically sticks around, often transferring to other substances or behaviors.
Ever wonder what happens when you put down the bottle but still feel that pull towards other habits? In this eye-opening episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara dig into the concept of addiction transfer. They share their own journeys, revealing how their addictive tendencies have shifted to things like personal development, self-help books, sugar, and even work.
Their candid discussion doesn't shy away from the tough stuff, making it clear that recovery isn't just about quitting alcohol—it's about understanding and managing your addictive personality. Lisa and Tawny also talk about the pitfalls of perfectionism and the constant drive for self-improvement. They highlight how these traits can sometimes mask deeper issues that need addressing. The episode takes a thoughtful turn as they discuss the role of mindfulness in recovery.
It's not just about being aware of your actions but also being kind to yourself as you navigate this complex journey. Social media gets its fair share of attention too. The hosts explore how our online habits can impact our personal growth and mental health. They encourage listeners to take a hard look at their own social media use and consider making changes that support their recovery.
If you're someone who’s moved past alcohol but finds yourself grappling with other addictive behaviors, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in for a conversation that's as real as it gets, filled with empathy, humor, and a whole lot of heart.
