"They bled me dry. Then left." Nikki Hayes

Nikki shares candidly about her early love for radio, the challenges of living with addiction, and the impact of her personal life on her career. After facing homelessness and legal troubles, Nikki's story takes a hopeful turn as she enters treatment and begins to rebuild her life, reconnecting with her daughter and returning to the radio industry. This raw and inspiring conversation highlights resilience, the power of community support, and the ongoing journey of recovery.If you have been affected, you can contact Tiglin in Dublin via Tiglin at the Lighthouse (Pearse Street, Dublin 2) on 085 287 6863, or access public support through HSE Drugs and Alcohol Helpline on 1800 459 459 for free, confidential advice and referral to local addiction services.
