Today’s conversation is nothing short of incredible. I’m joined by David Gorman, a man who has completely transformed his life after years of struggle.
David grew up in Coolock in a loving home with a happy childhood, but by 23, he had fallen into the grip of cocaine addiction—a battle that consumed the next five years of his life.
At his lowest, David faced unimaginable hardship. He lost 30kg, endured drug-induced psychosis, accumulated €40,000 in debt, and struggled with suicidal thoughts. One night, he found himself sitting on a motorway, ready to end it all.
Desperate for change, he moved to Denmark, but his addiction only deepened. It wasn’t until he finally got clean and relocated to Sweden that his true recovery began. Now, 3.5 years sober, David has rebuilt his life in extraordinary ways.
Today, he works as a supervisor at the very organization that once helped him, guiding young adults impacted by addiction. He’s also built a thriving online coaching business, using his powerful story to inspire and support others on their own journeys to recovery.
This conversation is raw, real, and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Let’s get into it.
