Note: The Wild Woman episode featuring guest, Lisa Fonville, announced in last week's episode will be moved to a later date.

In this episode, Britt and Charity battle with some subpar mics that Britt got off Amazon and get real about "addiction transfer." They discuss how recovery from substances often shifts into behaviors like shopping, sugar binges, and love addiction. They share personal stories, from a triumphant first poetry open-mic reading to impulsive spending sprees (yes, $150 kimonos), and explore how physical pain, triggers, and instant gratification fuel those urges.

Practical ideas and support are offered: naming triggers (emotional, environmental, social), practicing mindful pauses, using accountability and therapy, and remembering that recovery is a lifestyle. 

Welcome back to Brittersweet, where Britt and Charity share some laughs and life reflections over Tuesday tacos and watermelon lime margaritas.
