In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Professor Goodman Sibeko, a Professor of Psychiatry, academic leader, and thought partner in global mental health, joins us for a robust conversation about the often-overlooked ways addiction manifests in our lives.
Anchoring the conversation in alcohol, we explore how the most socially accepted drug in our society quietly rewires the brain’s reward and stress systems long before we ever call it a problem.
From the illusion of moderation to the culturally embedded, social normalisation of drinking, we unpack what really happens in the brain when habit becomes dependency.
We also explore how compulsive behaviours are manifesting in our relationships with technology and social media, and what it means to reclaim agency in a world designed to keep us hooked.
This episode is a mirror for anyone rethinking their relationship with alcohol, and a reminder that recovery is not reserved for rock bottom — it begins with awareness.
