Great podcast I knew seanie when he was growing up so glad he is doing great and loving life 👏❤️💯
What a legend 👏 ❤
Back in the 80s around farranree and black pool with big families the amount of young teenagers out of home sniffing petrol and glue and snatching purses in the city centre and homelessness was huge ....it all ends up prison ...
Twas pretty shite around Cork City that time all right. I didn't have any drink or drug problems but I was married to a pig with lipstick, working for bad wages and no way of getting out of it or doing any better. All behind me now.
Brilliant seany really injoyed it pal glad your living a great life pal very good podcast you look fit as fiddle
I live in New York, and I see the results of drug addiction around me everyday. I am against the present legalization of cannabis because I believe it a gateway to heavy drugs.
I am from near Cork City myself and like your podcast because I like to hear of people freeing themselves of addiction. Good luck to The Two Norries ,keep doing what you're doing!
I really loved this one, such a great interview.
an excellent listen
Great Interview thanks mate
Amazing stories
Great lads telling it like it is,
Excellent podcast ,thanks for sharing your story .I no exactly what that despair is like .thank God I don't have to live like that anymore.
I'm hoping someone from ballymun could help me find a very close friend who grew up in shangan flats in the 80s Darren Duffy
I temember jim he was older he had a brother diddent he he lived in the flats he hung around or knew joe cotten and and his friends i remember when he was older he come over to coultry to us was he a good footballer when he was younger
@@ciaranmccusker8809 he did have a brother called James he passed away tragically a few years ago
I’ve never been abused , had two parents who loved me , grew up in nice neighbourhood, was very polite and mannerly in school , not a genius at all but didn’t get into trouble til I was a teen . didn’t witness violence etc , none of my immediate family or cousins were addicts yet I’m a full blown addict , lost jobs, ruined relationships, been hospitalised, locked up , . I’ve no idea why I’m an addict. Every meeting I go to everyone seems to have a story about why they are an addict and it’s put me off going to meetings cos I feel like I’ve nothing in common with anyone there . I’m actually at the stage where I wish I did have something that happened to me ( I know that sounds terrible) just so that i has an excuse for being a screw up and an addict . None of my brothers have any issues but I can’t even get sleep unless I’ve used or I’ve been up for days with insomnia. Sober one week now and desperately trying to understand why I’m addict and why I keep helplessly messing my life up , every time I get sober it doesn’t last long
I enjoyed this .. best wishes from a mum of recovering addict .. damn it’s hard for me ..
This really impacted me. I'm only out of St. Francis Farm a couple of weeks and I'm struggling mentally with isolating myself from friends. Almost paranoid to go outside.
First few months of recovery after residential are the hardest. Get your meetings in, get like minded people are ya. It will pass.
How are you now ?
Yur amazeing man
Great stuff
The fucking insomnia used to get me every time, would end up using just cos I needed to sleep couldn't face another sleepless night.
I sniffed glue and smoked weed and now I’m crippled physically with multiple sclerosis fuckin ruined i need some rehab and stuff like this
Seek out the help John
I speak about myself in my young days living on the north side of Dublin,but I’m now destroyed i don’t know where to look for help, I’m in a nursing home crippled physically and emotionally mentally fucked,i really need genuine help,not convenient cover ups.listening to seanie i can relate to that type of person because im similar,id love to hook up with these guys because i trust fucking very few people especially since i was bullied in a job which is a massive cover up situation even to this day
WHERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO CONTACT ABOUT MY CONCERNS
Coolmine, Merchants Quay Ireland. Pick up the phone to one of them pal
Great podcast im like that but i waz always a robber it's a high the feeling i get doing a stroke it was only a matter of time before i started using drugs i used as my reward from my work career criminal I'm a dry criminal now haven't took anything since 2014 but i feed of other peoples crime crazy an feel a buzz talking to certain friends
