The Gap

I could drink a litre of gin in an hour: Addicts discuss addiction


Listen Later

Two people from different generations discuss addiction in this week’s episode of The Gap. After suffering a bereavement, Russell spiralled into alcohol addiction - at his worst, consuming a litre of gin in one hour. This week, we asked him to talk to Thomas, a recovering drug addict, about their experiences. Thomas started taking drugs with friends, but what started as a party habit became all-consuming. Both now in recovery, their conversation opens up discussion around the impact addiction has on relationships, misconceptions about addiction and what gave them the motivation to get help.
