http://terricole.com/handling-shadow-addictions/ While shadow addiction is a form of addiction, it is, on the surface, socially acceptable. It does not necessarily interfere with ordinary life responsibilities, such as work or relationships, even health, as stated in the definition above, but that does not mean the behavior is not negatively impacting quality of life. A shadow addiction effects relationships and sense of self and overall functioning and, left unchecked, can lead to a full-blown addiction. The real question about any mood-altering activity is: Are you controlling the behavior or is it controlling you? What behaviors negatively impact the quality of your life? Let's look at the definition closer and some common examples and solutions.
