Are you addicted and don’t even know it? Addiction isn’t just about drugs and alcohol—it’s anything that controls you. In this powerful conversation, Craig Wilkinson sits down with Conrad Cooper, one of South Africa’s leading experts on addiction recovery, to expose the hidden addictions that are destroying lives.

From pornography, social media, and gaming to workaholism and gambling, we uncover how addiction is actually a behaviour disorder—driven by deep emotional wounds, trauma, and a need for connection.

💡 In this episode, you’ll discover:
✔️ The #1 reason people stay addicted (it’s NOT what you think!)
✔️ How porn addiction rewires your brain—worse than heroin
✔️ The "90% of addiction" you never see
✔️ Why most addicts don’t know they’re addicted
✔️ The simple test to check if you’re addicted

🚨 If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, there is HOPE. Recovery is possible. Freedom is possible. It starts with awareness.
