Today we’re going to tackle a topic that’s affecting more and more people every day—especially those in recovery from addiction. It is something that has been creeping into our lives over the last several years, thanks to the rise of social media and the 24/7 news cycle. I am talking about "doomscrolling", or what I like to call "doomsurfing".

And, as we will discuss today, this behavior can be especially damaging for those of us who are working hard to overcome addiction.
