Why Are Some More Susceptible Than Others?

The comedian asks why some people are more susceptible to addiction than others and what can be done about it. From 2017.

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.
