There Are Only Two Core Addiction Types

There Are Only Two Core Addiction Types

Addictions.™ exists to name those patterns honestly — digital, substances, control, validation, comfort, thought loops, relationships, work, avoidance, and more — so they can be confronted, dismantled, and replaced with what truly matters.

In This Video…

We explain that all addictions fall into two core types based on how we regulate pain. The first type involves ingesting substances into our body to chemically alter our nervous system. The second type involves engaging in behaviors that manipulate our dopamine and nervous system. We emphasize that both types share the same root mechanism of avoiding discomfort and dysregulation. We clarify that our brain does NOT rank different addictions differently. We conclude that healing requires learning to regulate ourselves without escapism and using the right tools instead of survival mechanisms.
