About this listen

In this thought-provoking episode of A Silent Voice, host Jarrod Franklin explores a powerful perspective that shifts the conversation from street drugs to something more personal—and equally destructive: sugar addiction, comfort eating, and normalized habits that silently take control. This anonymous interviewee reflects on how food, fast food, and nicotine are often overlooked forms of addiction that carry long-term emotional and physical consequences. The conversation is raw, vulnerable, and eye-opening, challenging us to expand our definition of addiction and take seriously the small, everyday dependencies that impact our health, identity, and relationships.


Sometimes the loudest cries for help come from the quietest cravings.
