Ex-Addict Cullan Mais - 'Parasitic WORMS Were Coming Out of MY BODY'

from The Daily Heretic · host Andrew Gold

It sounds like something from a horror film — but for Cullan Mais, it was real. After years of heroin abuse, poverty, and neglect, his body began to literally break down. In this shocking and deeply human interview, Andrew Gold speaks with Cullan about what it really means to destroy yourself through addiction — and how he clawed his way back. 👉 Subscribe to Heretics Clips for more raw, unfiltered interviews: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos Cullan Mais, now the host of The Central Club Podcast, once lived a life consumed by drugs, shoplifting, and survival. By his own admission, he stole over £10 million in goods to fund his habit, served 12 prison sentences, and ended up in hospitals with collapsed lungs and infections. But one of the most disturbing moments of his life came when parasitic worms began coming out of his body — a shocking reminder of what heroin can do to a person physically and mentally. 💬 “I started heroin at 18 — and it was a tragedy.” 💬 “I had worms coming out of me… that’s when I realised how far I’d fallen.” 💬 “I stole millions just to stay alive another day.” In this gripping episode, Andrew Gold digs into the darkest corners of addiction — not for shock value, but to understand what makes someone keep going back to the very thing that’s killing them. Cullan speaks with brutal honesty about the moment he looked in the mirror and realised he was dying, the terrifying physical decay that came with addiction, and how he finally decided to fight back. This is not a story about glamourised drugs or victimhood — it’s a raw confession about pain, recovery, and redemption. Cullan explains how he turned his suffering into a mission to help others, mentoring ex-offenders and giving people a second chance through his own podcast. 🔥 Topics Include: • Parasitic infections & physical collapse • The horror of heroin withdrawal • Stealing £10 million to survive • Prison, rehab & rock bottom • How addiction destroys the body • Finding purpose through recovery & storytelling • The brutal truth about redemption #HereticsPodcast #CullanMais #AddictionToRedemption #HeroinRecovery #AndrewGold #TheCentralClub #AddictionStory #DrugAddiction #RecoveryJourney #ExAddict #RedemptionStory Learn more about your ad choices.
