Brendan O'Connor · “You don’t need a free bar two hours before the meal” - Noel Cunningham on hosting a recovering alcoholic · 1 Aug 2026 podcast

Next week, I'm just going to drink.

I'm going to go out at the weekend.

I'll have a couple of glasses of wine on Saturday night.

I'm going to have a dry Sunday.

And I was, I think it was Una Healy.

I was reading about her the other day.

She had a lovely article in the paper.

She decided to go on the drive for a while.

And she's embracing it and absolutely loving it.

And I love any positive story like that.

And as I say, I'm not that person who's discouraging life,

enjoyment, socialising, not at all.

I want you to have a life that I have now that is grateful, that have my family and my life again that I had partially lost.

And you will lose family, you will lose friends, you will lose your job, you will lose your car, you will lose your home.

All of those are potentially there.

And I know, because I've been that soldier, I...

I just had that and I was so blessed and so lucky that when I decided to leave my life abroad and come home and struggle for a few months of trying to...

keep on that path of sobriety and to kind of overcome my shame because there's so much shame involved with drinking so much shame with being a an alcoholic i'll just say an alcoholic and we are very good in ireland at reminding people at usher that fella

He has a problem.

He's an alcoholic.
