Episode 6: Are You Addicted?!

The Evolved Caveman w/ Dr. John Schinnerer

What Aren’t We Addicted To?! We can be addicted to alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, narcotics, exercise, sex, shopping, social media, gaming and more. What is addiction? And how do you know if you are addicted? Most importantly, what do you do about it?

Join Dr. John for a penetrating interview with clinical social worker and substance abuse counselor, Steve Peterson. Steve has been doing this work since 1986.
