Talking Bollox Podcast Episode 37 w/Brian Pennie

[@ConCon75]

This podcast has forced me to confront my own issues around alcohol.

[@karlotoole9768]

This is brilliant boys I'm 3 months clean I was in a bad way with mental health and riddled with anxiety still am lost my cousin to suicide due to addiction but I've put myself back out there after two near overdoses it opened my eyes I turned my life around and would not have been able to do with my family who sat by me and nursed greatful to be here I tore them apart with my own stupidity and have fairplay to anybody who's been through the struggle and come out the otherside it's not easy mental health and addiction needs to be talked about more and giving more resources much love boys great job

[@RoarkeConnolly]

Honestly held back tears a good few parts of this episode, Brian is an absolute legend. Terrence being able to relate and open up also is so admirable, nothing but respect to you three lads this was some journey of a podcast.

Just lost best mate too addiction. But there's hope. I'm proof. And many many others are. Heroin doesn't discrimate. Thanks boys. Love be on show speaking my story. Army, football, breakdowns, ocd intrusive thoughts. That needs too be made aware too. 80 per cent ocd become addicted. Thanks boys

Not only drugs, can also happen with social addictions

Religion is a fear a hell, spirituality and recovery is heaven on earth.

Its all well and good saying "junkies are all people who are hurting" but some are just junkies. There are a proportion who will turn their life around but the vast majority of junkies are down and out people who chose drugs over anything else. The inner city is not littered with people who would be geniuses who just fell on top of a needle, the lowest of society end up walking the streets strung out.

[@cianb8396]

If you think that you obviously didn’t listen to all of the podcast. These people have had their brains hijacked by drugs and if you don’t offer them help they won’t ever get off drugs which means we’d have drug addicts around for longer. You are not helping the situation at all mate and you’d want to take a long hard look at yourself before you start judging other people

[@maverick1472]

@@cianb8396 listened to it in its entirety. The majority of junkies are dirtbags, a very small minority are people who are good under it all. You would swear all junkies were saints the way these lads carry on......id doubt they would be that open to them when one of them had stuck a needle in their nannies face or robbed everything that wasnt nailed down from the family home.

[@cianb8396]

You don’t understand what goes on in these peoples lives you’re a sick sick man if that’s your opinion. Disgraceful to see someone act this way. You think you’re so high and mighty but you or any of your family could go through a major trauma one day and end up the same way. Think before you speak

[@maverick1472]

@@cianb8396 i suppose growing up in a flat complex plagued by drugs, losing a parent and a sibling to heroin gives me no experience on the matter 👌👌 Some good people become junkies through trauma, a huge majority are just dirtbag junkies!!!!! Its a lovely story for people to try shed a good light on certain areas of the city, people who live there know different!!!!

[@cianb8396]

People like you are a major part of the problem maybe this is why your mother or sibling aren’t here anymore they didn’t get any support from family
