The Couch Trip

Addiction & You: Understanding Triggers, Rewards, and a 90-Day Experiment


Listen Later

Is your twice-daily vacuuming a simple routine, or… something more? This week, Eddie Reece and Bill Courtright tackle the surprisingly complex world of addiction. They're not just talking about drugs and alcohol; they're diving into the less-obvious habits, like workaholism or endless social media scrolling, that might be serving as "flight responses." Eddie shares his thoughts on addiction as "running away from love" and offers a powerful "90-day experiment" for those wondering if they have a problem. Meanwhile, Bill explores the tricky "trigger-response-reward" loop and questions whether our culture’s obsession with anxiety and distraction plays a part. Expect a candid, often funny, and always insightful chat that challenges norms, busts myths, and might just make you look at your own habits in a whole new light. If you've ever wondered, "Do I have a problem?" or just want to understand why we get hooked on certain behaviors, this one's for you.
