Podcast #2. Timmy's Journey (Part 2): From learning to read & write at 32 to bachelors degree at 39. 

i find it fascinating about the construction industry and how people in ireland seem to view or have viewed the men who build their houses , roads and service buildings , these people are the fabric and backbone of a society so my wish is that their confidence and view of themselves is just turned around and flipped to the highest thoughts of strength , confidence and pride in what they do.

This is true redemption if I've ever seen it... Timmy gets it...how do u know your healing.. When u truly want to provide an environment for others, like you, to thrive....mindfulness for me is the key to unlock the sub conscious and identify the self limiting beliefs that hold us captive... Again, I'm engaged, motivated and very hopeful that some lasting change comes... Please keep this up.. Fucking amazing....

I wish that ye had this podcast sooner, my god to hear people from ur own city and from the same kind of background would have made so much difference to my 2 brothers, they both went to treatment a few times but there was no real support or open conversation like what ye are doing now, openly talking real and understanding is definitely the way forward, I've only came across ye lately but as a sister that has lost my 2 beautiful brothers I can now understand them better from what ye are saying about ur own struggles, talking really is the key, Thank you

Well done Timmy; You carry a great message; Recovery works ,And you put in the work, Your Family must be so proud; Great to hear you;

this is my second time watchin this one and weirdly enough im in second year in ucc myself at the moment and was very close to dropping out a few days ago im going through a lot of mental health struggles myself but just want to say that timmy your after really helping me relate and realise im not the only one and that im just struggling to adapt at the moment but ill get through it hopefully cheers timmy

This is a amazing podcast guys ..Inspired, I love anyone who genuinely trys to help the next man or woman up..Timmy so much identification,..I'm 22 years in and this has been refreshing WDR..thank you 🙏💯

Timmy, you're a true leader. You carry all the power inside yourself already, and always did from a young boy, you were never ever "stupid" - you just had to learn it for yourself. Well done for wanting to help others like you! A true hero. ❤

Its great to see this,the northside is full of potential but unfortunately its suffering in a sea of drugs and impoverished conditions. James and Timmy congratulations on rising above and finally starting to believe in yourselves.i wish others can follow in your footsteps cause theres still to many souls lost .northside abu

Really creating a niche for yourself here James , very endearing interviewer , knowing when to ask pertinent questions but also knowing when to stay quiet . Amazing turnaround from Timmy , a completely open book now pal , education has made an incredible change in your life , which your family must be so so happy with , Fair play pal , incredible stuff

That was inspirational and raw and so so real in life, the part about fear of being judged is something I live with every day, best of luck with this lads and that both your lives will improve with every passing day and year. Michael

My brother recommended that I watch these podcasts and I at first thought I would have no interest but I have to say I am so inspired by both of you amazing guys!! You are both so brave and have touched my heart with your amazing stories of recovery. Thank you both so much and keep up the good work....we all need you!! You are true examples of how we can all change for the best and there is always hope....

Fair play for telling your story Timmy,

brilliant again. look forward to James being in the hot seat next week, its a thin line between what you both went through to when we used to play football in hollyhill back in the day. You would see the two of you sometimes playing football with us without a care in the world. Timmy was always letting his leg in though! tough character, but truly delighted to see you both make such a comeback and become almost beacons for kids going through the same journey as you both did.

Lads, this is something special your doing here. Thanks to Timmy - a mine of wisdom in those first two episodes.

Timmy you’re a great leader. If it were someone else he wouldn’t recover from his sufferings and madness stuff

Wow. Fantastic. Thank you both so much for sharing your story.

Well done to both of you men. Inspires hope and strength for me. Please keep up the good work and recovery.

Absolutely brilliant lads, thanks for your honesty timmy

Well done Timmy 👍 well done lads great podcast

Great podcast thanks for the service you guys are providing to the community and beyond. Can't wait for the next episode.

The Two Norries are AMAZING!!!! It was actually a programme called 'Antisocial Ireland' that was on Virgin Media the other night that drew me to them! I've been listening to the first two episodes and all I can say so far is a breath of fresh air hearing these two lads talk about how they grew up and how the dark side of it affected them and led them to the world of crime/violence/drugs/addiction/prison. Just going through this and coming out to the other side and still continuing to do so, brings me a sense of community and belonging just listening to them and their contribution to my own personal journey between my mental health, going through the motions, and trying to get a career that I know I can contribute very well to society with (Mental Health Nursing). James and Timmy are two very special lads and are a credit to Cork City and Cork in general!

Great stuff lads keep up the good work very inspiring !!!

Just watched your two first podcasts. So well done, amazing listen. Well done to both of you in your courage and achievements in life and on here. You have created something very special and inspirational at all levels.

Truly inspiring lads, Timmy best of luck in your future ventures. I wish you every success!

Bést of luck in life 👍

Great listen again lads 👏👏👏

Have watched a few of these podcasts. I applaud the redemption and rehabilitation these 2 guys have both achieved. However I'd like to see more reflection from them on the impact their violent and thieving crimes had on their victims (some who may still be suffering today). They seem to have completely forgotten about that.

great question

this interview makes me want to be a better woman... certainly great men out there...

Dr Joe dispensa I'm going to look into him now , meditation has always been my saviour but after a tough few months I m so happy to hear some more tips because I'm a novice even tho I'm years practicing, ... I would not sleep at night without mediation.... Learning to live with my emotions is the book I was given to study in treatment 2011 my goodness that was when I started to understand myself and I'm still learning 13 years later 💯🙏🙏

Fear play lads

👍👍👍

Is part 1 still up on RU-vid, I can't find it

Hi timmy I can spell dr joe second name .I want to look him up on RU-vid. Great podcasts

Hello, I would really like to know more about your meditation it changed me for a while but I lost interest and I’m finding it so hard to go back to... Do you pay much for subscription fees, it sounds like I wasn’t putting enough into it for sure Thanks Timmy
