Description: My addiction is embarrassing and I’m ready to share it. This will be proof to you of how deep and intertwined our bad habits, compulsions, and behaviors can be. For the record, EVERYONE ends up addicted to something at some point.  It’s not just drugs and alcohol. You can be addicted to work, exercise, external validation, negative excitement, procrastination, sugar, male attention, shopping, and your phone….I even have a friend in my support group that is addicted to the game Candy Crush.  Here’s how you know if this habit of yours has escalated into an addition: If it comes with a negative cost to your physical health, emotional well-being, your spiritual connection, goals, your finances, or your relationships.  No one has ever said that “Salad is ruining my life.” As a great leader, I know in order to best help you; I have to be vulnerable first.  Hi, I’m Tiffany and I’m an ice cream addict. You may have just laughed, and that’s ok it does sound silly….but here’s when I knew it was a deeper problem. I started to NEED it. If I didn’t have a pint of ice cream in the freezer, I would get anxious.  Then I started to feel shame when I would eat it, like “WTF is wrong with me, why do I have to have this?!” Although I didn’t binge eat the ice cream, I would eat enough to where my stomach would hurt or it would be so much sugar that it would affect my sleep. Even knowing this, I STILL kept eating it. (insert more shame) I would wake up feeling like crap with a sugar hangover while watching my abs lines slowly disappear, and be replaced with full body inflammation (as a results form the dairy + sugar).  YET, I still kept eating it almost every night. It was my dirty secret.  Secrets like this keep us stuck in it because it fuels the shame.  Everything shifted for me in the last week, after I followed these steps. Listen to this life-changing episode, as my remarkable guest Melissa Paige, shares openly about addictions to food, alcohol, drugs, and nicotine. Melissa is 12 years sober from drugs and alcohol, and now two years free from smoking and vaping nicotine.
