In this episode of Wellness Wire, Eric Parra and Wade Muhlhauser dive into an often-overlooked addiction—social media. While platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook connect us to the world, they can also become a silent threat to sobriety, fueling dopamine-driven compulsions, unhealthy comparisons, and emotional triggers that can derail progress in recovery.
Eric and Wade share personal experiences, research-backed insights, and practical strategies to help people in recovery develop a healthier relationship with social media. They explore:
🔹 The parallels between social media addiction and substance use
🔹 How constant scrolling affects mental health, self-worth, and emotional regulation
🔹 Why social media can be a trigger in early recovery
🔹 The importance of boundaries, digital detoxes, and mindful content consumption
In a world where technology is everywhere, learning how to reclaim focus, build real-life connections, and protect mental well-being is crucial. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion and practical steps to break free from the social media trap.
