    James is such an amazing person. He always speaks about his own past with extreme honesty and openness, his recovery journey is so inspirational and now he spends all his spare time paying it forward to help the addicted community and their families. Legend.

    Great episode, very honest. The message at the end regarding tough love and not enabling the addict is so important.

    well - that is amazing - that lad is a hero and should be doing "secondary school" no two ways bout it. fair play to his girlfriend, she clearly pushed him forward. thats a wow story and absolutely honest. Sad that lads are at home in prison but with a bed and three meals, gym and skool - that seems to be the way for poorer communities...
