Sex, Love, and Food Addictions are all considered process addictions. Process addictions are addictions, the same in the addiction brain neural pathway as alcohol and drugs, however chemical dependency is not part of the addiction.

Interestlngly, sex, love, and food addictions oftentimes occur in the same people, sometimes at the same time, or they trade off depending on which is flaring up and which are dormant. For instance, when sex addiction may be in someone’s acting out phase, food might not be an issue for them. Or, conversely, sex/love addiction can be triggered up at the same time food issues are presenting in someone.
