#119 - Transitional Addiction - Switching Addictions

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!Transitional addiction or "switching addictions" refers to the phenomenon where an individual shifts from one addictive behavior to another during or after the process of recovery. This can occur when the underlying issues driving the addiction, such as emotional distress or unresolved trauma, are not fully addressed. Instead of confronting these root causes, a person might replace their original addiction (e.g., alcohol or drugs) with another form of compulsive behavior, such as excessive exercise, workaholism, pornography, collectables and shopping, or even an obsession with recovery itself. The key challenge is recognizing and managing these new behaviors to prevent them from becoming equally destructive. In this episode we discuss our experience with transitional addiction - the good, the bad, and the ugly.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.reclaiming-you.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here
