Adam Fout: The Whack-A-Mole Phenomenon—From Alcohol & Drugs to Food & Sex

When you restrict on one type of addiction, you must watch for another addiction to take its place. It's a widespread occurrence that most addicts can identify with. Taking away the drink, drug or relationship isn't the solution; it only stops the destructive behavior. It's what's underneath the addiction and addressing the "why" that we start to heal. Like many people, there were addictions like food and sex that preceded the alcohol and drug addiction that happened later and were first addressed. But the feelings and thoughts were still there. Adam Fout and Brianne discuss the phenomenon of cross addiction and how to find recovery from it. _____ If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction or depression, we've compiled a list of resources on the Secret Life Website: http://secretlifepodcast.com ______ HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE PODCAST?
