Substance vs. Process/Behavior Addictions

Some addictions come from what you ingest. Others come from what you do. This episode breaks down substance addictions versus process or behavioral addictions through a lens most people miss: the ritual. You'll hear how both types run the same cycle - cue → craving → response → reward - but deliver the "hit" through different routes: consumption and chemistry versus action and stimulation. You'll also learn the Six P's that make the pattern obvious in real life: Planning - who, what, when, where, and/or how you're going to do it Procure - how you get access Prepare - how you set the stage Permission - the story you tell yourself Perform - the act itself Protect - how you hide it, minimize it, and keep it aliveW'llll cover why anticipation can be its own dose, how tolerance and withdrawal can show up differently across substances and behaviors, where food fits into the conversation, and the red flags that tell yoit's’s no longe" “just a hab"t” it's’s something shaping your schedule, mood, priorities, and identity. Just hit play, and let’s dive in with open minds and hearts—you are in the right place at the right time—right now! ******************************************** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, FOLLOW, RATE, AND REVIEW my show on your preferred streaming app. Every little bit helps this show reach those who need it most.
