There is increasing awareness that not only substances (alcohol and drugs) can be addictive, but also that some of the activities we do for enjoyment can become excessive and cause problems.  This can happen with gambling, gaming, social media, sex, shopping and eating. 

Sometimes people can develop problems with more than one substance or behaviour.  If you or someone you care about has struggled with this, tune in to learn about how to manage and prevent cross addiction.  

Listen to my conversation with Doug Hilton, a counsellor specializing in gambling problems and addiction.  Hear how many people successfully break free.  Learn how paying attention to balance and wellness can keep you on track and addiction free.
