Luke Loughlin has been dealing with his addiction since a young age.

A Westmeath footballer star, who is telling his story of drug and alcohol addiction, could be saving people's lives and may never know about it.

The 30 year old has been telling TDs and Senators the help and treatment he received has saved his life.
