    Do You Real Have Friends Or Just Drinking Partners | Dopamine, Alcohol & Awareness

    Seated With Lebo & Thato Rampedi | Episode 2 – Quarter of Awareness In this raw and powerful episode of Seated With Lebo & Thato Rampedi, we continue our 2026 BREAKTHROUGH journey by diving deep into Quarter 1: Awareness. We unpack the uncomfortable truth about dopamine addiction, South African drinking culture, and how many of us confuse party partners for real friends. Joined by creator Lee, we explore how alcohol, social media, toxic relationships, and constant distraction are quietly shaping our habits, mental health, and future. This episode isn’t about judgment. It’s about awareness. Because you don’t just get addicted to substances — you get addicted to escape. ⸻ 🧠 In this episode, we talk about: •⁠ ⁠Friends vs drinking partners — who’s really in your corner? •⁠ ⁠Dopamine addiction and why you keep chasing short-term pleasure •⁠ ⁠South African alcohol culture and emotional avoidance •⁠ ⁠Why you keep choosing the wrong people •⁠ ⁠The truth about addiction and unmet emotional needs •⁠ ⁠Healthy ways to regulate your nervous system •⁠ ⁠How your social circle affects your growth •⁠ ⁠Awareness as the foundation of real breakthrough If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected, or caught in the same cycles — this conversation is for you. ⸻ 🇿🇦 South African Culture & Dopamine Why do we drink for everything? Hiking. Brunch. Stress. Heartbreak. Success. We don’t drink because we’re happy. We drink because we’re avoiding how we feel. And until you face that — nothing changes. ⸻ ❓ Ask yourself: Do you have friends… or drinking partners? Are you building discipline… or hacking dopamine? Are you healing… or numbing? Breakthrough starts with awareness. ⸻ 🎧 About Seated With Lebo & Thato Rampedi Seated With Lebo & Thato is a South African wellness and mindset podcast exploring: ✔ Personal development ✔ Mental health ✔ Discipline & habits ✔ Relationships ✔ Identity & purpose ✔ Growth conversations New episodes weekly.
