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.

✔️ 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
