I'm Dr. Ferghal Armstrong, a general practitioner and addiction medicine specialist, and I'm here to tell you that healing goes beyond prescriptions—it's about understanding the complexities of human experience.

Listening is just as vital as any medication. That's why each week, I gather with a team of experts—friends and colleagues—to dive deep into pressing social and psychological topics. Together, we unpack the nuances of our society's challenges and strive to unearth solutions that can truly make a difference in our lives.

Cracking Addiction is the show where we delve into the depths of addiction medicine. Join me, Dr. Ferghal Armstrong, as we journey through the science, treatments, and stories behind addiction.

From alcohol to gambling, we leave no stone unturned, exploring how addiction affects individuals, families, and communities alike. With a steadfast commitment to evidence-based insights, we equip you with the knowledge you need to understand addiction fully.
