In season 1, episode 7 of My Strange Addiction, viewers are introduced to two individuals with unusual cravings and habits.

The first person featured in the episode is Adele from Florida, who has a peculiar addiction to eating couch cushions. Ever since she was a child, Adele has been drawn to the texture and taste of foam cushions and cannot resist the urge to chew on them. She admits to consuming up to six cushions a month, cutting them up into small pieces and swallowing them. This dangerous habit has caused Adele to experience stomach pains, bowel problems and sleepless nights, yet she finds it difficult to stop.

The show's therapist attempts to get to the root of Adele's strange addiction, and discovers that it may be linked to her childhood trauma. Adele grew up in a dysfunctional family and found comfort in chewing on soft objects like her blankets. As she got older, she turned to couch cushions as a coping mechanism. With the help of the therapist, Adele begins to open up about her past and starts working towards breaking her addiction.

The second person featured in the episode is a young woman named Lisa from Illinois, who has a fascination with furry costumes and dresses up in them to escape reality. Lisa identifies as a "furry", which is someone who has an affinity towards anthropomorphic animals and enjoys dressing up as one. She has multiple furry costumes and often attends conventions where she can interact with others who share her interest.

Through interviews with Lisa and other furries, the episode sheds light on the furry subculture and the emotional connection that people can have with their furry alter-egos. Lisa explains that wearing a costume helps her overcome her anxiety and depression, and allows her to be a different version of herself where she can be more confident and outgoing. However, her addiction to her furry persona has caused tension in her relationship with her boyfriend, who struggles to understand her fascination.

The episode concludes with both Adele and Lisa taking steps towards overcoming their strange addictions. Adele attends therapy sessions and starts to wean herself off of the cushions, while Lisa works on finding a balance between her furry life and her real life. The episode offers a unique perspective on the human psyche and the lengths that people will go to in order to cope with their emotions and traumas.
