Episode 37

37 - Heroin to Hero - Paul Boggie Part 2

In Part 2 of this eye-opening conversation, Paul shares the raw reality of addiction at its lowest point — from living in survival mode to feeling invisible in society. He speaks candidly about reaching rock bottom, suicidal thoughts, and the moment he realised he didn’t want to die.

Paul’s turning point came not through rehab or religion, but through a single, life-changing idea: that he could change his life from the inside out. With the help of a self-development programme and a powerful moment of self-talk, he began the journey of breaking free from addiction.

This is a deeply human story about belief, resilience, and the first sparks of healing.
