Show notes

“Addictive personality” or ADHD...? I’m starting to think addiction has a lot in common with the hyperfixation that comes with ADHD. Of course, there’s the physical side of addiction, where your body becomes dependent on a substance, but the mental side could have a lot to do with hyperfixation and the dopamine chase. Today, we’re diving into how this can show up in everyday life beyond alcohol, from relationships and hobbies to food and more.
