Inside The Mind Of An Addict

When does "bad habit" become addiction?


Listen Later

Is it just a bad habit… or something more?

Most people think of addiction as something extreme, something that only applies to drugs or alcohol at their worst. But what if the same clinical criteria used to define addiction also showed up in everyday behaviors like scrolling your phone, gaming, binge-watching, or even that nightly glass of wine?

In this episode, Amber breaks down what addiction actually is, using real, clinical standards, and then puts those criteria side-by-side with some of the most common habits people don’t usually question. The comparison is eye-opening.

If you’ve ever wondered whether something in your life (or someone else’s) has crossed the line from harmless to hard-to-control, this conversation will help you see it more clearly without labels, judgment, or overreaction.

You’ll walk away with a better understanding of where the line really is… and how to recognize it sooner rather than later.
