Sober Dads Debate: Is Stock Trading Just Another Addiction?

I don't see much difference between playing the stock market with robin hood or doing any other forms of addiction.
Ever wondered if stock trading could be as addictive as gambling? In this episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages', Mike and Nat, two suburban dads on their sobriety journey, tackle this intriguing question. They dive into the world of dopamine, discussing how the rush from stock trading can mirror the highs and lows of gambling. If you've ever questioned your own investment habits or noticed patterns that seem a bit too familiar, this episode is for you.
Mike and Nat don't stop there. They also reminisce about the lengths they went to during their addiction days, like braving blizzards for a fix. It's a candid look at how far they've come and the constant vigilance required to stay on track. Their weekly round-up includes a critical look at Oregon's spending on unproven recovery programs and a quirky segment on UFOs and paranormal radio. Ever tried pronouncing “Oumuamua”? The dads give it a go with hilarious results.
This episode is a blend of serious discussions and light-hearted banter, perfect for anyone navigating recovery or curious about the addictive nature of certain behaviors. Mike and Nat's relatable anecdotes and genuine camaraderie offer both support and entertainment. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, their insights provide a comforting reminder that you're not alone in this journey.
