Knowing The Score #5 - Zoe

Welcome back to Knowing The Score — drugs & alcohol education from the experts: people in recovery from addiction. In this episode, Marcus from Eternal joins Ffion, Josh & Amanda from Meddwl Ymlaen – Mind Our Future to speak with Zoe who is over 10 years into recovery from 28 years of addiction to heroin. “When I hear the word addiction, what I hear now is: escape”. Zoe used heroin to escape — from life, from pain, and from herself. She opens up about serving time in prison, using heroin while in labour, and the heartbreak of not being able to be a mother to her children. Today, Zoe is a force of nature. She lives drug-free and faces life’s challenges head-on. 🎙️ Raw, painful, and deeply moving — the kind of truth young people rarely get to hear. 👉 Youth workers, educators, schools, sixth forms, colleges — this podcast is made for you.
