In this episode of Shrinked by Quint, we explore the quieter side of addiction – the behavioral patterns that often go unnoticed and even celebrated in our society. Drawing on over 30 years of experience, Quint unpacks how addiction isn’t just about substances, but about escape, control, and the need to soothe discomfort. From compulsive work to phone checking, we examine how dopamine fuels these patterns, why they’re so deceptive, and how awareness is the first step toward recovery.
