Why Are Some More Susceptible Than Others?

Available for over a year

Why are some people more susceptible to addiction than others? And what can we do about it? Sober, un-obsessed, and single for the first time in her life, Mae is asking: Who am I when I'm NOT addicted? And what's next? Mae looks at how society views addiction and recovery, and what connections we can make between identifying why people feel the need to self-soothe, and helping them on the road to recovery in a compassionate way. Written by and starring Mae Martin. With: Dr Gabor Mate. Producer: Alexandra Smith Made by BBC Studios for BBC Radio 4 and first broadcast in November 2017.
