ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOUR & BAD HABITS

Are your habits running the show—or are you? From phones and sugar to work, gambling, and alcohol—let’s talk Addictive Behaviour & Bad Habits and how to reset with Sober October.

Recorded LIVE Friday 17th October, 12:30–1:30pm on @radioashford 107.1 FM. The Feel Good Hour with Samantha Griffin and Nigel Jones.

We unpack habit loops, how to spot when a behaviour slips from “harmless” to harmful, and simple ways to break cycles without white-knuckling it.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or “on autopilot”? This hour is your reset. Nigel & Sam share tiny actions that create big momentum—sleep better, save money, feel proud.

We answer:

Alcohol spotlight: what’s “low risk,” how common is over-drinking, and why Sober October works?

How to start (and stick to) a 30-day break?

Phones, social media & workaholism—simple resets that stick.

Gambling & gaming—red flags and where to get help?
