100 pairs of shoes. 30+ high dollar purses. Stacks of baseball cards. What about that nightly 6-pack after work, a pot of coffee every morning before work or those 2-3 midday energy drinks daily just to stay focused and get by??
There are so many things out there that hold some kind of power over us.
What is an addiction? Are all people guilty of at least one addiction, good or bad? And are all addictions actually BAD for you?
Most people when they hear the ‘A’ word are thinking of drinking, smoking, binge eating, pornography among other habits we label as ‘bad’ and we aren’t proud of.
Find out from hosts Mike Westerdal and Chris Wilson what they have struggled with in the past and what has them hooked these days along with their honest insights about channeling their own addictive personalities.
“It gives you that dopamine. It feels good, but it’s not productive... It could be hurting your work, could be hurting your finances, it could be hurting your relationships.” -- Mike Westerdal
