We actually recorded the podcast out of <a href=\"https://www.booking.com/hotel/ie/keel-holiday-cottages-achill.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Keel Cottages Achill Island </a>and they were fabulous (I'm looking forward to bringing the kids back).  Richie’s story is one of addiction, resilience, recovery, and rediscovery, and let me tell you—it’s a rollercoaster. One thing that comes accroos about Richie from the start, is what a kind human he is.  I could have sat with Richie for hours on end, he has an amazing energy. </p><p><br></p><p>Richie has battled an addiction to cocaine for over 20 years, and in this episode, he shares his journey with raw honesty and a storytelling style that had me in stitches. Yes, addiction is a heavy topic, but Richie somehow makes it lighter with his hilarious anecdotes. He’s truly one of a kind.</p><p><br></p><p>This is Part 1 of Richie’s incredible story, so strap in and get ready for an unforgettable ride. I can’t wait to hear what you think!</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Trigger warning: </strong>Addiction, CSA</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Find Richie:</strong></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/richiemolloy/?hl=en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram </a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.booking.com/hotel/ie/keel-holiday-cottages-achill.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Keel Cottages Achill Island </a></p><p><a href=\"https://achilltourism.com/item/blasta-bikes/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Blasta Bikes Achill </a></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Laura Farrington"}
