267. Divorce Drama & Dopamine: the Addiction No One Names

Ever sworn you wouldn’t check his Instagram at 1 a.m. … and still did? Or did you tell yourself, “just one glass,” and finish the bottle? That loop isn’t just bad habits—it’s codependency as addiction.

In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, dawn, Producer Joy, and Coach Tiffini unpack how post-divorce codependency functions like a hidden addiction—hooking you on approval, fixing, and being chosen. We’ll explore:

✨ Why shame (not loneliness) is the engine that keeps you stuck
✨ The breadcrumb → boundary cycle every divorced woman knows too well
✨ How “good girl” conditioning rewires your nervous system for addiction
✨ Practical ways to interrupt the dopamine-drama loop

You don’t need another glass, another scroll, or another half-love. You need a nervous system that feels safe—and that’s what we help women build every day.
