What if your addictions aren't weaknesses? What if they're given to you by design.

In this episode of Breaking My Addictions, Clive, Matt and Dom go deeper into the mental diet conversation - moving from the family dynamics of last week into the media, advertising and algorithmic machinery that shapes what we think and what we reach for when we're not okay.

They explore how soap operas quietly hand people identities to inhabit. How laugh tracks train you when to feel. How a trillion dollar advertising industry doesn't sell you products, but sells a version of yourself that needs them.

What if we lowered people's baseline dopamine through fear-based media, meaningless work, corrupt politics and a consumer treadmill that promises everything and delivers nothing?

Raw, unscripted and harder to dismiss than it should be.
