Ciarán O’Driscoll’s story is one of pain, loss, and ultimately, redemption.
Sober since 2002, he opens up about growing up in a home shaped by alcoholism, and the devastating loss of his brothers, who were twins.
From his first drink as a young teenager, to drug use, prison sentences, and deep self-hatred, his life spiralled quickly. In and out of Cork Prison, Mountjoy, and other institutions, addiction took nearly everything from him.
But this is not where his story ends.
Now a father of four, Ciarán speaks about the impact of his children on his life, especially his youngest, Elsie May, who was born in May 2020 during a worldwide pandemic.
This is a story about turning a life around, finding faith and purpose, and taking full responsibility.
A raw and powerful conversation about addiction, grief, and the possibility of a comeback, no matter how far you’ve fallen.
