Fiona Taaffe, 57, shares her inspiring journey from drug addiction to recovery, culminating in completing the Dublin Half Marathon with her daughter, Karinann. After facing severe consequences including losing custody of her children, Fiona sought help in 2019, leading to a transformative five-month treatment. Now passionate about running, she credits the Coolock Running Club with being a vital support system in her rehabilitation process, emphasizing her determination to overcome personal challenges and inspire others facing similar struggles with addiction.
'In recovery I wanted to keep active. I walked a lot and would see runners and think âI would like to try thatâ but self-doubt kicked in.'
'I hit rock bottom, and if there is another rock bottom below it, I hit that too. I was happy to choose drugs over my daughter.'
