Addiction is a disease. Addiction is a coping mechanism. Addiction is a lifelong process of ups and downs.

In episode four, dear friend and talented Hair Dresser Amanda and I sat down to talk about our experiences with dating individuals who were recovered or active addicts. We get raw and real about manipulation, addictive tendencies, unconscious repetition of self-harm, patterns of "the chase", and so much more.

Trigger Warning: cases of mental, emotional, and physical abuse as well as suicide are discussed. Be gentle with yourself while listening.
