Detailed explanation-2: -The most common compulsive behaviors developed during recovery include overworking, shopping, sex addiction, tech use, exercise, and gambling. Some behavioral addictions may seem petty, such as stealing, skin picking, tanning, and hoarding. These activities induce similar pleasure in the brain as using substances did.
Detailed explanation-3: -Almost all of the behaviors that are suspected to have addictive qualities are believed to cause the release of dopamine. Dopamine creates a strong reward pathway in the brain in response to a specific drug or behavior, making it more difficult (although not impossible) to stop.
