In this deeply emotional episode, Vanessa bravely shares the heartbreaking story of her son Luke a kind, funny, and charismatic young man whose life was tragically lost after struggling with a**iction.

Luke was the type of person who lit up every room he walked into. Friends loved him, family adored him, and he had a bright future ahead of him. But what began with nights out and experimenting with substances slowly spiralled into a battle with a**iction that changed everything.

This episode is difficult, but it’s an important one. If sharing Luke’s story helps even one person seek help or recognise the signs sooner, then his legacy will continue to make a difference.

⚠️ Content warning: This episode discusses a**iction, mental health struggles, and s*cide.

This episode is different.

I opened up the inbox and read your real messages about c*caine, al*ohol, re*apse, funerals, losing families, the “just one pint” voice, and trying to stay sober when life hits hard.

Some of these stopped me in my tracks.

We talk about:

•⁠ ⁠Recreational c*caine that “isn’t a problem”… until it is

•⁠ ⁠The little voice telling you to go back

•⁠ ⁠Grief, funerals and staying s*ber through loss

•⁠ ⁠Discipline vs motivation

•⁠ ⁠Losing friends when you change

•⁠ ⁠Why s*briety feels like a loss before it feels like a win
