In this episode of 'The Two Norries', hosts James Leonard and Timmy Long chat with Cork native Colin Healy, who opens up about his turbulent past and his inspiring road to recovery. Colin's story isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about harnessing his experiences to create a beacon of hope for others through his charity, 'Sailing Into Wellness'.
Growing up, Colin faced numerous battles with mental health and addiction. At one point, his life spiraled so far out of control that he set his own house on fire, resigned to his fate. But instead of succumbing to despair, Colin found a way to turn his life around. In a candid conversation, he shares how he broke free from the chains of addiction and began a journey towards healing.
Colin's charity, 'Sailing Into Wellness', is more than just a program; it's a lifeline for many grappling with similar struggles. The initiative offers sailing programs designed to build self-esteem, foster community, and provide a sense of purpose both on and off the water. Through personal anecdotes and heartfelt stories, Colin illustrates the transformative impact of these programs on individuals battling addiction and mental health issues.
The discussion also highlights the importance of routine in recovery and the critical role of peer support networks. Colin, James, and Timmy explore how changing perceptions around mental health can make a world of difference. They delve into the success stories of participants, including young people and children with autism, showcasing the charity's broad reach and profound impact. If you're looking for a story of resilience, community, and the healing power of the sea, this episode is a must-listen.
