Listener Q&A: Are You Cross Addicting?

On this week's podcast, the Agents answer listener questions and share their insights into cross-addiction, offer advice on how to stay focused in your recovery, and set up a powerful topic for next week's show.

Cross addiction, also known as addiction transfer or Addiction Interaction Disorder. It is when a person has two or more addictive behaviors. The addictions can include alcohol or other drugs, but can also include addictions to food, gambling, sex, gaming or other compulsive behaviors.

Addiction is the continued use of a substance or engagement in a behavior despite the potential for personal problems, harm and negative consequences. For example, consider a gambling addiction. If you continue to gamble to the point that you can no longer pay your bills, you lose your car or damage relationships, you may have an addiction.
