In this compelling episode of A Medic's Mind, Matthew Heneghan shares his powerful story of resilience and recovery in an interview with Joe Pugh of CHLY Radio in Nanaimo. Matthew, a former military and civilian paramedic, opens up about the human side of first responders, reminding us that behind the uniform, there are real people who experience sadness and trauma.

Join us as Matthew recounts his battle with alcoholism, which began as a coping mechanism for the immense stress and loss he faced, including the tragic suicide of his mother in 2017. He candidly discusses his turning point during a therapy session where he finally admitted to being an alcoholic and took the first steps towards recovery.

Matthew's journey to sobriety was fraught with challenges, including the physical and emotional toll of withdrawal. However, through therapy and the support of loved ones, he found the strength to rebuild his life. Today, six years later, Matthew is surrounded by wonderful people, including his partner Sheena and her two beautiful daughters, who have brought joy and purpose back into his life.

This episode is a heartfelt testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of acknowledging and accepting help. Tune in to hear Matthew's inspirational story of overcoming addiction and finding hope and healing.
