In The Early Years of our friendship, I don't think I realized that you had a problem at all. So it was kind of ironic, because, although I fantasized about not being here, when you said to me you're waiting for the police to call to say that I'm dead, that was really conflicting and I felt like I didn't want that to happen to me.
Ever wondered how addiction can strain and reshape even the closest friendships? In this episode of 'What Next', Karl Considine sits down with his best friend Anna for a raw and heartfelt conversation. They dive into the harrowing journey of Karl's addiction, exploring how it affected Anna and their bond. From the highs of Karl's happy and ambitious days to the lows of his struggle with drink and drugs, Anna recounts her perspective with honesty and emotion.

But it’s not all bleak; Karl and Anna also share how they managed to rebuild their relationship and find joy again. This episode is a testament to the power of unwavering friendship and the hope that recovery brings.
