This episode of 'Mental Obsession Discussion / Emotional Sobriety' dives deep into the intricate relationship between addiction and mental health.

The conversation kicks off with an insightful definition of codependence and how it ties into addictive behaviours.
The hosts share their experiences and discuss how believing in the reality of our thoughts can lead to internal conflict and emotional turmoil. They also touch on the concept of emotional sobriety, emphasising the importance of aligning our thoughts with reality rather than getting lost in imagination.
