They define addiction as a habitual, unwanted behavior that's hard to stop despite repeated efforts, leading to a loss of control. This conversation goes beyond the usual suspects like drugs and alcohol, broadening the scope to include food as a potential source of addiction.
Wes and Austin dig into the complexities of how even something good can become harmful when overused, drawing wisdom from Proverbs to emphasize the importance of moderation.
