Types of Addictions (Process, Sex, Gambling, Food, Internet, Work, Nicotine, Substance, and More)

Welcome to Episode 16 of the “Sober is Dope” Podacst, with your host POP Buchanan. This episode is called “Types of Addictions.” POP Buchanan breaks down the difference between Substance Addiction and Process Addiction. Process addictions include sex, gambling, Internet, food, shopping, work, and other behavioral addictions. Sober is Dope is dedicated to promoting all the benefits of sobriety. We all have something in life we must detox from or moderate. Sobriety is not just limited to substance abuse, and I am excited to open up the conversation. It’s all about healing, recovery, and living a well rounded life. Sobriety is fascinating. Enjoy this episode. Love you all. - Sober is Dope
