Episode 173 w/ Seany Kinsella

Seany Kinsella was just 15 when he used heroin for the first time while sleeping rough in Ballymun. It wasn't long after that when he did his first stint behind bars and for the next 10 years he spent his life stuck in the revolving door of the Irish prison system.

Seany had tried to get quit drugs and alcohol before, but it took him changing his way of life for him to stay sober. He's now nearly 14 years in recovery. He told us about that journey, and how even when it seemed he had it all figured out, he still wasn't happy until he treated his underlying mental health issues.

A truly inspirational figure, Seany now works with Peter McVerry and the Irish Prison Service to help people in the same situation he had been in.
