This was me 4 years ago. I was in hospital as I’d just nearly drunk myself to death. I’d been an alcoholic and suffered from depression and anxiety for 25 years.

Well done Niall, looking forward to watching you achieve even more
💪👏👏👏
I don’t know you (yet) and I’m so flipping proud of you!
You’re an inspiration to all who struggle with addiction and those that struggle with someone battling addiction!
I too struggle with it.1/2
Keep it up, Brother!
Who loses if you don’t WIN?!
You I Love!
🙏🏽💙🙏🏽
It’s never too late. I was 41 and miserable in life and didn’t want to go on. Keep trying no matter how hard it seems (2/8)
I still suffer from small bouts of depression and anxiety but it’s 5% of what it was with booze involved (3/8)
Its not always easy but you realise there is a whole world beyond the bar or wherever you drink (4/8)
Work that removed you are there for others when they need you. That makes you feel so much better about yourself (5/8)
I found by telling people my problems they are so respectful and helpful with helping me overcome it all (7/8)
Awesome feedback loop.

You are a inspiration and fine example of what is at the other end.
Well done on your new path and journey ❤️
I know that sounds like I am preaching, but there is no other phrase that fits.
Not just for your amazing work with those who cannot defend themselves, but just for being your authentic self.
I have similar issues (fingers crossed, not as bad).
You're an inspiration. If my mortgage was paid off I'd be doing the same as you - maybe in Thailand, maybe in the UK.
For now, my Romanian rescue side-kick keeps me going.
God bless you for what you're doing.
