With You in the Weeds

Chasing Fulfillment: Gambling, Shopping and Workaholism


Listen Later

What if the things you normalize, celebrate, or even depend on can quietly take over your life just as powerfully as any substance?

In this thought-provoking episode of our ongoing series, Dealing with Your Addictions, John and Shay tackle the topic of behaviors like gambling, shopping, and workaholism and how they can evolve into powerful addictions that mirror the neurological patterns of substance abuse.

You’ll hear about:

  • How everyday habits can become life-altering compulsions
  • Why dopamine is at the center of every addiction story
  • What Scripture says about being mastered by anything other than Jesus
  • Examining root causes to find true freedom and healing
  • After listening to this episode, you’ll understand that freedom from process addiction is possible no matter where you find yourself on the recovery journey.
