Ever wondered if you're just swapping one addiction for another? In this lively episode of 'At The CCC', hosts Anthony and LouiLou dive into the intriguing topic of addiction transfer. Broadcasting from the vibrant Castro Country Club in San Francisco, they tackle the question: Are we merely trading booze for boys, or maybe even Ben & Jerry's?
It's a conversation filled with humour, honesty, and a touch of sass as they explore how addiction can shift from substances to behaviours like overeating or excessive gaming. You'll hear candid stories about midnight cravings for Slurpees and the surprising costs of online gaming. The hosts share their personal experiences, bringing a mix of laughs and genuine reflections on what it means to find balance in recovery.
The discussion isn't just about identifying new addictions but understanding why they occur and how to manage them. From caffeine fixes to the allure of drama, the episode highlights how these behaviours might fill the void left by alcohol or drugs. Listeners are invited to reflect on their own coping mechanisms and consider how awareness and mindfulness play a role in staying sober.
