Description

Have you ever stopped one habit… only to find yourself leaning on another? 🙋🏻‍♀️
Maybe you ditched dieting, but now wine o’clock is calling every night. Or you stopped drinking, but suddenly food feels out of control again. This, bestie, is called transfer addiction — and it’s way more common (and normal!) in recovery than you think.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:
✨ Why transfer addiction happens (hint: it’s not because you’re weak or broken).
✨ What red flags to look out for when one coping tool swaps for another.
✨ Therapist-backed strategies to build a healthier toolbox and meet your needs without shame.

Healing isn’t about perfection — it’s about noticing patterns, understanding your nervous system, and learning new ways to care for yourself. You’re not failing, you’re growing. 💜

3 Key Takeaways:

  • Transfer addiction is your nervous system’s way of searching for safety, not a sign of failure.

  • The behaviour matters less than the function it’s serving (numbing, avoiding, soothing).

  • You can replace old coping tools with compassionate, empowering strategies that actually support healing.
