007: Addiction: The Hidden Addictions We Don’t Talk About

from Return to Heart

Addiction isn’t only about substances—it’s about survival. In this powerful conversation, we reveal how our need for connection can twist into compulsions that look acceptable on the outside but exhaust us on the inside. From food to phones to ministry itself, we expose the subtle ways we try to escape loneliness, fear, and shame.You’ll hear how dopamine, shame, and “chunking” shape addictive cycles—and how genuine connection breaks them. This episode is raw, redemptive, and full of practical hope for anyone caught in performance or perfectionism.✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:- Addiction as a response to codependency and exhaustion- The neuroscience of dopamine and “chunking”- Why the opposite of addiction is connection—not sobriety
