Transfer addiction, or replacing one addiction with another, is common among many addicts and something everyone quitting an addiction should be aware of.
Imagine going through a life-changing surgery only to find yourself facing a new, unexpected battle.

If you or someone you know is considering or has had weight loss surgery, this conversation is a must-listen.

Shana’s story is a powerful reminder that addiction can take many forms and that recovery is possible with the right support system.
