β€˜It was a given that I was going to take drugs at 13’

The presenter of a new 5 Live podcast about recovery has said it was β€œa given” that she was going to take drugs aged 13.

Jade Wye is one of two presenters on Hooked: The Unexpected Addicts, which recently won The Rachael Bland New Podcast Award.

In the first episode, now available on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds, Jade explained how even when she woke up from a coma, her first thought was about class A drugs.

Hooked: The Unexpected Addicts, which debunks the stereotype around addiction, is now available to download on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds.

You can find more information and support about addiction on the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Action Line website.
