Do you have a troubling habit that has you in its grip, and do you need some help to regain control?
If so, you'll know that willpower alone isn't enough to escape the allure of addiction's intoxicating offer.
Any activity - shopping, gambling, sex, porn, drugs, botox, junk food, alcohol - that promises swift relief from emotional distress has the power to override common sense and become addictive.
Why? Because impulsive habits represent an antidote to something having gone awry in life.

Outlining the insights and practical help that helped Jay escape addiction, this episode offers a whistle-stop tour of information we all need to know.
