In today’s fast-paced, achievement-driven world, many individuals grapple with a silent epidemic: ’Hidden Addiction’. Unlike more visible forms of substance abuse, hidden addictions often masquerade as socially acceptable behaviours, making them difficult to recognise and address. These addictions can range from workaholism and excessive exercise to compulsive online shopping and unhealthy relationships, in this case, alcohol and cocaine abuse.The pressure to maintain a perfect facade and the fear of judgment often prevents those suffering from seeking help. They may appear successful and well-adjusted on the outside, while internally battling feelings of shame, isolation, and despair. Studies show that hidden addictions can significantly impact mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts. It’s a crisis that affects millions, yet remains largely unspoken. This book is about discovering the root causes of Marcus ’Hidden Addiction.
