The Unconventional Addict is a powerful and inspiring account of the rollercoaster journey from addiction and trauma to freedom and joy.

Whether you're sober curious, navigating codependency and people pleasing, or simply feeling that something in your life needs to change, The Unconventional Addict is your guide to clarity, healing, and self-discovery.

Have you ever Googled, "Am I an alcoholic?" but felt lost in the world of traditional addiction recovery? The Unconventional Addict is for those who don't fit society's traditional mold of addiction.

Those who may only drink with friends, watch too much Netflix, or can't stop scrolling on Instagram, but know in their heart that there’s a deeper-rooted issue at play.

Through raw and personal storytelling, life coach and author, Kristine Casart shares how she learned to harness her addictive behaviors for good, and guides others to do the same.

With compassion and understanding, Kristine's methodology gets to the core of addictive tendencies and helps listeners uncover the defensive behavior patterns that can manifest as codependency, people-pleasing, and substance abuse. Kristine teaches listeners to hold their inner child in love and how to honor their addictive habits as a superpower.

Where was this book 10 years ago? lol glad it’s here now! Must read!

The Unconventional Addict is the book I wish I had found a long time ago, when, like Kristine, I was questioning my drinking habits but was considered highly functioning in a problematic society. It was easy to get reflections that allowed me to stay in a place of denial around my codependency for far too long. This book is a gentle guide for people who are curious about exploring themselves deeper to really see why they do the things they do. I absolutely fell in love with Kristine’s addictive personality, Samantha, and through Kristine's tender approach, I was able to give myself compassion for the ways my inner Samantha still shows up, even in my sobriety, and honor the ways that when I harness her energy in a good way, she's an amazing sidekick!  There were so many permission slips that enveloped me in a field of Divine Love and tenderness, which truly is the essence of Kristine. I am in awe of my sister, who, when I was learning about codependency, seemed to fall from the heavens to be a way shower and a true inspiration in my life. What a gift this book is for so many women who are looking to tap into more self-love, more self-compassion, and more authentic living. This book is pure medicine for modern medicine women, the mothers and doulas of a new world.

I didn’t think I was “an addict”… and then this book changed everything.

The Unconventional Addict isn’t about drugs or alcohol in the way you might expect. It’s about the hidden patterns so many of us live with every day—people pleasing, overworking, numbing out, staying busy so we don’t have to feel.

This audiobook felt like someone gently holding up a mirror… and somehow doing it with so much compassion that I didn’t want to look away.

It doesn’t shame you. It doesn’t overwhelm you. It meets you exactly where you are—and then quietly, powerfully, invites you to ask: What is actually holding me back?

I found myself pausing, reflecting, and honestly… seeing parts of my life in a completely new way.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected, or like you’re meant for more but can’t quite get there—this is for you.

This isn’t just something you listen to. It’s something you feel.

The Unconventional Addict is beautifully written with a holistic outlook on addiction that will make you feel seen, supported, and safe to break the cycles you may not even realize you are in, whether you consider yourself to be in active addiction or not. It shines a gentle light on so many of the ways addiction sneakily hides in our day-to-day lives, as well as our coping mechanisms for dealing with it all. Not only does it remind you that you are capable of being a more authentic you, but it also gives you brilliant tips, tricks, and tools for contemplation on how to integrate this new perspective into your life right now! Tears of every kind have flowed while I read, and I am chomping at the bit to share it with everyone I know—for we all have addiction in our life, both conventional and not.
