Jessica Wade talks to Tommy Tiernan about her work at Tiglin helping other people find their feet after struggling with addiction herself in the past. Donate: www.tiglin.ie
I'm continually astounded with Tiernan's versatility. His sensitivity in interviewing this lady and letting her shine was amazing. On the other side she was made to feel at ease and she came across very elequent.
Stay positive Karin, the fact that you want to get sober is the first big step, don’t try and do it on your own, there are people out there who are more than willing to help, I’m sober now for 37 years and it’s all positive
As a Christian and a former addict I can relate to both the addiction and the power and the love of God. Like Jessica said my life is far from perfect and so is mine, but I dread to think what I would be like today without the saving grace of jesus; maybe I might be dead
Powerful life story Jessica, you've been blessed definitely, God loves every one of us as if noone else would be in the world, that's the truth. Let me please wish you lots of pure joy in your heart, and light the candle there all the time, you are chosen.🙌
I’m crying watching this and what should be the focus here is that the whole purpose of having a faith is to believe in miracles and the love of God and what’s clear here is a woman who was completely broken in spirit and mind and body who the streets couldn’t save or the drugs didn’t save or a prison couldn’t save was saved by God and has now gone on to save many more in Jesus’ name. This is the perfect example of a modern day miracle
Please realise it wasn't God who abused you - it's people and Satan who do evil things - God weeps with us when we hurt and also has a plan to restore us if we will turn to Him and allow Him to heal us. God can "restore the years that the locusts have stolen" with His perfect Love. God Bless you.
@@FirebrandVOCALS Well, the Christians do claim that he is responsible for all of creation. Should he only get credit for the good stuff? Is he like a bank now?
Very much respect for anyone Who was addicted to harddrugs,and get clean and then helps addicts Cause out off ten lie to you and play a game And I know, believ me I couldnt do it To frustrating
While I have every sympathy for those lives have been torn apart by any of the many and various addictions out there, what tends to get lost between our cynical, destructive drug wars and the terrible stories of those who have been consumed by the drugs they consume is that addiction is not the inevitable conclusion or result of taking drugs. As heretical as this will sound, I know a good many people who follow Aristotle's advice: "All things in moderation, no thing to excess." Responsible, productive, happy people who take a little trip now and then and profit from the experience. Now, part of this is due to the fact that not all drugs are the same. Crack cocaine is not DMT. Alcohol is not cannabis. Etc, etc. But another far less well known factor is that habituation and addiction occur along a spectrum, like anything else. Both physiologically and psychologically, different people react differently to the same substances. Take alcohol, which has caused more mayhem, by far, than all the other drugs combined. It can be brutally, brutally addictive, and yet, most of the people who use it are not actually addicted to it. The only sane policy is harm reduction, which is not an empty catchword. We need to educate ourselves as to what this entails. And we need to move from punishment and prohibition to compassion and education.
Well Done Your such a beautiful blessed woman jessica you an inspiration to others you look fabulous you must be so proud of yourself stay blessed stay amazing beautiful queen💯❤💪👑🙏😍🥰
A great view was this, all addictions be it food or drugs - gambling etc etc is a progression, some people claim they can balance things but lots of people are also in denial. Nobody plans the journey, things just go a bit turbo and before you know it you have a full blown addiction, being honest to yourself is a good start getting back on track. I gave up smoking in 2012 after being a smoker for about 27 years, smoked a lot of weed too, not touched a cig or joint 10 years now and it feel like I was never a smoker, now I'm battling a bad gambling addiction that has dominated a lot of my life, it's the hardest battle I've ever been in.
RIP sis unfortunately she didn't make our aged 37 it's amazing to hear from the actual addict no body would ever understand till the addict admits it 💙
I lit a candle for myself after seeing this... I came out of treatment a week ago. Smartest and most powerful move I've ever made. Thanks Jessica for sharing your experience of strenght and hope! Your story inspired me.
Everything is doable. That candle for herself gave her the strength to do the first right thing in her addiction. Addiction, not a easy void to fill, it takes a lot of filling to quench the illusion of happiness. We'll done. Whatever work's. 👍
As an addict in recovery this was a really good interview it was so relatable the Chaos the pain and the damage that was caused and its the best thing seen people get well it's a miserable existence we only have 1 life and its so sad seen people trow it away jails institutions and death is always the end results god bless any struggling addict if you read this just know its possible to get clean if you put the work in and eventually life gets better don't give up

He has a lovely way about him.
A wounded healer. A powerful story.
The empathy he shows and the sensitive subject, how well this lady verbalised her predicament. This is so moving and funny ...
What an incredible moving story.
What a GREAT interview THANKS TOMMY as an alcoholic I loved the honesty, humour & genuine kindness. I hope one day I can get sober 😄
good luck have faith and ask others for help you can do it i was a crazy drug addict now sober 2 years
Light a candle for yourself precious one ❤🌱

What human quality that beautiful young lady has within despite all her experiences she’s nothing short of amazing
Bless this lady a
Powerful Lady and inspiration to all. In darkness there is always light. So light a candle for yourself and keep it bright.
What an interview
She is a brilliant person
Respect to anyone who can make it through this life.
As Ringo Star said. "Ya know it just ain't easy."
I found this hard to watch at the start of the interview..... Twas bound to remind me of active addiction.
This woman is the real deal 👍
Amazing story and well done lady light a candle for yourself ❤️
Very proud of Jessica. An inspiration.
Jessica is a great woman. A modern saint.
I don’t believe in Catholicism and I still think this is beautiful.
As a Christian and a former addict I can relate to both the addiction and the power and the love of God. Like Jessica said my life is far from perfect and so is mine, but I dread to think what I would be like today without the saving grace of jesus; maybe I might be dead
Tiernan is so comfortable with silence. He never rushes the interviewee. THIS is top quality informative TV.
Powerful life story Jessica, you've been blessed definitely, God loves every one of us as if noone else would be in the world, that's the truth. Let me please wish you lots of pure joy in your heart, and light the candle there all the time, you are chosen.🙌
So beautifully put! Jesus' love for each of us is so intense it far surpasses our comprehension.
God bless you
It's a spiritual problem, that requires a spiritual solution.. And I'm glad she found it!
You nailed it, Matthew chapter 12 verses 43to45 Jesus Christ explains just it is with this wicked generation and demonic possession- addictions.
I’m crying watching this and what should be the focus here is that the whole purpose of having a faith is to believe in miracles and the love of God and what’s clear here is a woman who was completely broken in spirit and mind and body who the streets couldn’t save or the drugs didn’t save or a prison couldn’t save was saved by God and has now gone on to save many more in Jesus’ name.
This is the perfect example of a modern day miracle
I don’t believe in God anymore due to historical abuse, however this young lady deserves nothing but ultimate respect.
Please realise it wasn't God who abused you - it's people and Satan who do evil things - God weeps with us when we hurt and also has a plan to restore us if we will turn to Him and allow Him to heal us. God can "restore the years that the locusts have stolen" with His perfect Love. God Bless you.

She like imelda may gone wrong
This is going to sound horrible, but how come she's still got her teeth?

IFDRUGS ‘DONT WORK’ THEN YOU CAN REMOVE CANNABIS FROM THE LIST OF ‘DRUGS’…. 🤡😂
Well Done Your such a beautiful blessed woman jessica you an inspiration to others you look fabulous you must be so proud of yourself stay blessed stay amazing beautiful queen💯❤💪👑🙏😍🥰

Huge respect to this woman for putting in the work to heal herself & then helping others.
What show is this and does Tiernan do more?
Ah come on. Are you serious ???? You don't know what show it is. Really 🙈🙈🙈🙈
@@allisnotwhatitseems. Not everyone watches rte...
Or maybe not Irish watching this on RUclips..
It's a show where the interviewer doesn't know who he is interviewing until they walk on set...
I am in awe of this woman. Incredible congratulations.
RIP sis unfortunately she didn't make our aged 37 it's amazing to hear from the actual addict no body would ever understand till the addict admits it 💙
Sorry for your loss.💝
