Addiction is a serious problem all over the world today. It takes many forms— from substance abuse such as alcohol, drugs, and nicotine, to behavioral addictions like gambling and compulsive behavior. It is a long term and progressive illness, and the right kind of help and support is crucial in beating it.
Therefore, this week’s episode is focused on how we should view addiction in relation to our identity, and what understanding this really means for our present and future.
