2 - The blurry beginning and how to tell if it's a problem for you

In episode 2 I talk about the beginning. When did this addiction behaviour even all start?! We know something isn't quite right, but what is it? What in the goodness gracious is going on here?!

I dive into the confusion and some ways we might be able to identify if it's a problem and some pitfalls to avoid. Talking about the problem and how you and those around you might perceive it differently. I go into the lies and denial and the role the play here, and how each of these coping mechanisms serve us.
