<p>It’s the penultimate episode of the season, and things are starting to come full circle.</p><p>Mark and Ben talk through the build-up to Ben reaching one year off codeine, reflecting on where their journeys first began to overlap and how that connection has shaped everything since. Ben also brings in a piece of audio he’s chosen himself, which takes the conversation in a direction Mark wasn’t expecting.</p><p>They’re then joined by Abby, who returns to the podcast after previously sharing her recovery from codeine. This time, she opens up further about other substances she struggled with, and where life is heading now both personally and within the recovery and social media space.</p><p>An honest check-in, a few surprises, and a look at what comes next as the season draws to a close.</p><p>Follow us on:</p><p>TikTok<br>Over The Counter: @mark.and.ben.otc<br>Mark: @markrebuilds<br>Ben: @stageoversubstance</p><p><br></p><p>Instagram<br>Mark: @markfearo<br>Ben: @thec0deinediaries<br></p><p>Facebook<br>Mark: www.facebook.com/markswellness</p>

<p>Mark and Ben kick things off with a proper check-in on where life is at right now, what’s been going well, and what’s been challenging.</p><p>They then dive into a recent article that breaks down how addiction actually affects the brain, and why it goes far beyond just “choice” or willpower. It leads into an honest conversation about their own experiences and when things shifted from control to compulsion.</p><p>In the second half of the episode, Ben’s mum joins the conversation to share what it was like from a parent’s perspective. From the early signs to the hardest moments, and what recovery has looked like through her eyes.</p><p>A real and important episode that looks at addiction from both sides.</p><p>Article mentioned in episode:</p><p><a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260305223211.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260305223211.htm</a></p><p>You can follow us on:</p><p><br></p><p>TikTok<br>Over The Counter: @mark.and.ben.otc<br>Mark: @markrebuilds<br>Ben: @stageoversubstance<br></p><p>Instagram<br>Mark: @markfearo<br>Ben: @thec0deinediaries<br></p><p>Facebook<br>Mark: www.facebook.com/markswellness</p>
