In this episode, Rich and Gav interview former addicts Benga Adenusi and Ricky Ayres about their struggles with drink and drug addiction.

Benga and Ricky are incredibly open and honest about their past and how addiction can ruin the lives of the people around them (especially the ones they love). This has led them to becoming involved with CA (CocaineAnonymous) especially Ricky, who has begun a very worthwhile cause by starting up his own group to help people who suffer or have suffered from any (and all) forms of addictions and how he now wants to help others too.

Both Benga, Ricky, and ourselves hope this episode can help someone who may have issues with addiction to reach out for the support they need.

So, if you know of anyone who is suffering from addiction, then please either get in touch or get them to listen to this episode.
