In this week's episode, Lauren and Tina hear from jockey Kieran Shoemark who talks openly about his positive test for cocaine, his battle with alcohol addiction and his inspiring road to recovery.
We also hear from Ruth Croft, a Youth Engagement Manager at Turning Point who tells us about the devastating impact that even recreational drug use can have on young people and families, including involvement in county lines.
Jo Devereux from Care first, who partner with Racing Welfare to bring Racing's Support Line to the industry, talks through what happens if you call the support line with an addiction issue. Jo gives reassurance around confidentiality and the support given to anyone struggling with addiction or anyone who is supporting an addict.
