Is it just a bad habit… or is it actually an addiction? Most people think addiction only applies to "serious" drug users — but what if the same criteria that defines addiction also applies to your phone, your screen time, your gaming, your social media… or even your nightly glass of wine?
In this video I'm breaking down the actual clinical criteria for addiction and holding it up next to some of our most common everyday habits — including drinking. The results might surprise you — or maybe confirm what you've already been wondering.
If someone in your life (or maybe even you) seems a little too attached to their screen, their phone, their games, or their alcohol — this one's for you.

Addiction doesn’t always look the way you think it does.

I joined on the Brave Bold Brilliant podcast to talk all things addiction, and this conversation goes deeper than most.

We covered:
• The truth about “functional” addiction
• Why rock bottom isn’t required for change
• How families can help without pushing loved ones away
• The real impact addiction has on homes, relationships, and even the workplace

If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to help someone or just want a better understanding of what’s really going on, this episode will open your eyes.

It’s honest, practical, and full of perspective shifts.
