Addiction during a pandemic

How two men fought their addictions during lockdown

Covid-19 has forced social isolation upon many of us. Nuala McGovern considers alcohol and drug addiction relapse during the pandemic. We hear from two men, in Kenya and the United States, about how they have fought their addictions while under lockdown.
Nuala also talks about the importance of family in these times and hears how one man travelled more than 2,000 km across the US to play his trombone for his brother, who was recovering in a rehab centre after a fall.
She also talks about how hobbies are helping us and joins a wrestler, a dancer and a musician in conversation about social distancing.
