74. How Addiction Hurts Men Find Meaning - With Mark Walsh

Most people fail to beat addiction because they're solving the wrong problem. After 19 years sober and decades working with men stuck in compulsive behaviours, I've seen why willpower, mindset hacks, and "just stop" advice rarely work. Addiction isn't a personal weakness - it's a response to a disconnected, hyper-stimulating world. In this podcast, I explain why modern culture creates addiction by design, why treating it as a purely psychological issue fails, and what actually leads to lasting recovery. This includes the role of environment, embodiment, discipline, community, and meaning - not just motivation or dopamine tricks. If you're stuck in alcohol, porn, gaming, food, phone addiction, or any behaviour you can't control, this will help you understand what's really happening and how to step out of the loop. ---------------------------------------------------------- See the Feral Philosophy YouTube channel HERE  Support the Feral Philosophy mission by donating through Crowdfunder  Want to become a certified embodiment coach?
