## Resource

In this powerful first instalment of a three-part series, Angeline speaks with Paul Boggie — veteran, motivational speaker, and author — about his early life, his struggle to fit in, and the path that led him to smoking heroin at just 18. Paul opens up about growing up in Edinburgh, the influence of his environment, bullying, self-image, and the deep desire to belong. What unfolds is a raw and honest conversation about the subtle, creeping nature of addiction — and how it can take hold even when life on the surface seems "normal." This is a story of vulnerability, survival, and the beginning of transformation. ⚠️ Content guidance: This episode includes discussion of drug use, bullying, and mental health challenges. Listener discretion advised.
