I know Stephen
We grow up together in clonmel.
I'm so happy to see this man.
Artist .writer. guitarist.....100%
Che You can still have amazing life within the chair.
Your talents have never been seen in the world.
Many a flower has bloomed unceasingly and wasted sweetness apon the cold dessert air.
Always a way back home.
Many thanks to
Kold turkey for videos.
I want to thank you and stephen for sharing this video. Im Stephen's cousin and from the same town. I havent seen stephen or talked to him in over 20 years. My heart breaks for his family and him. If you see or speak to him can you let him know, he isnt alone and Abbey rd sends their love ❤ addiction has ripped apart good families and good people, including my own and myself personally. People will never truly understand an addicts mine unless you have experienced it yourself. Its easy to judge and ignore, its easier to gossip and point the finger but its absolutely one of the hardest things for an addict to do is actually stop using. then get through everyday afterwards without using, thats almost impossible. Its a crutch around your neck that convinces you you arent worthy of a good life.
All the best stephen, where's Cissie with her candles and novenas when you need her, maybe there was some truth in them after all, cos i know I definitely could do with a few, much love xx
Thank you for that message ill pass it on to Stephen. Saw him today he was in great spirits🙏
@KoldTurkey I had to laugh when he plugged Uncle Johnny's album 😂
Nice to see Stephen a nice fellow a gentleman hope things are working out good luck from carrick on suir
Another raw interview Pauly biggest respect 🙏
, there's no doubt you come across to be a nice person I cannot see anybody not wanting to help you but look at what the drugs have done to you I hope that other people that watch this UA-cam clip that may be taking Street drugs can clearly see the way your life is and how you are and hopefully other people will stop taking Street drugs I blame the doctors for not giving out the medication that people need in the first place.... God bless you.... Stephen don't let anybody look down at you because you use a wheelchair.... I am really glad that you made this UA-cam clip 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪👍👍👍
Great conversation thanks, wishing Stephen all the best x

I know steo he's a lovely bloke a real one He has had a hard life but I class him As a mate thinking of you ste 💞
Sounds familiar. Has anyone heard of epidural spinal abscess? It’s put me in a wheelchair from injecting. Wales.
Guy seems so headstrong
I love comics, his storytelling mixed with his art and life experiences would make an amazing comic. I hope he's doing well, if I ever see him around Dublin he has my time. Also I've been clean for 2 years now, and I'm in college now studying to be a drug counsellor, and I never seen that happening. Life can change in the blink of an eye.
so true bro..well done on your recovery
@@KoldTurkey thanks man, I'll be sure to check out more of your content, just subscribed, it's nice to be able to give a voice to the voiceless.
Chap has alot to deal with.
Kinnahans just say no 😂😂
Chi chi sound man knew him well back in Clonmel .. would love to chat again if you had a way of passing on a message \ number
Drop him a msg to st
@KoldTurkey absolutely will do ... thank you very much man 👌👌
Fair play Stephen. Well spoken boy. Hope you can get out of the hole of addiction one day. You were some boy on the guitar. Dave Beckett. I'll send it onto John he'd be glad to know your still going. God bless ya boy.
I think the interviewer is quite chatty.. I think he should listen more and talk less!!
These interviews are more conversations really, and i only get the folk to open up by having a two way conversation with them.. these interviews are cut down from usually 30/ 40 mins just to get 10/15 mins of revlevant content..
Wish you'd let him talk
My style of interviews are conversations bro..thats why people open up to me... the interview you see is cut from an hour long conversation we had together. It is what it is.
@@KoldTurkey Yeah...whatever works I suppose. And as I was in addiction for so so long, I know we addicts tend to talk A LOT and sometimes can go on and on so yeah I get it; as in making it more a split conversation. Enjoy your stuff mate
Why doesn’t the interviewer let the man talk though? 👀
Because these are conversations that explore possible solutions, not just interviews, and Ive been in their situation and try to offer them hope as we chat. Hope that answers your question pal
I think you guide and direct the flow of the conversation very well 👍
What's are Zimmos that he mentions?
Zimovane a popular sleeping tablet on the streets. Taken with methadone or heroin it produces a euphoric drowsey effect
Zopiclone
I'm on 15mls of methadone but benzos are ruining me life 16 yes almost withdrawals are horrifying I wish I cud stop I hate it pauly great channel your a sound guy all my love mite bump into yeh round town sum day be a pleasure 🌺
You could try coming off the benzos really really slowly, over many months, even a year or two. It can be done for sure.
Yea I agree with the comment above mine, just slowly and surely come off, come off the benzos first and then focus on the methadone, just slowly does it. I done it, you can too. Used to love the trannax and gear, but I gave up the trans first, then the gear, it took me years, but I done it, and it was the best decision I ever made.
Niamh hope things are going well ❤
Thanks!
ever the legend....thank you so much Gregg...you make these videos possible brother!!
