The ScotsCare podcast - with Marcus Railton

Marcus chats to Paul Boggie, a man that battled heroin addiction for 7 years, then decided to turn his life around to become a Queen’s guard, in one of the world’s toughest army regiments.

Paul's spine was later damaged in a car accident, forcing him onto painkillers, meaning another battle to beat substance dependence again. He overcame it and wrote all about his journey in Heroin to Hero, an autobiography with all proceeds going to charity. He's got some great insights into addiction, determination and lessons learned.

His life was turned into a play at the Edinburgh Festival last summer and he has followed this up with a second book.
