Four years ago Luke Loughlin opened up about struggles with alcohol and substance abuse and received an unexpectedly strong response. Loughlin is currently in recovery and has since used personal experience to help others facing addiction. The recovery journey became publicly linked to the 2021 Tailteann Cup when Westmeath won the title. The issue was raised at the joint Oireachtas committee on drugs use today, with Loughlin's experience presented as an example of how disclosure and recovery can support awareness, connect people to services, and encourage community support for addiction recovery.
