Episode The Comeback with Andrew Desmond
At seventeen, Andrew Desmond picked up his first drink - and from that moment, his life spiralled into years of alcohol addiction, problem gambling, and self-destruction. By his own words, he was a fall-down drunk, trapped in a cycle of chaos and shame.
But this is not a story about defeat. It’s about recovery, personal growth, and the courage to start again.
Now sixteen years sober, Andrew is a husband, a dad, and the founder of Be Undeniable - a movement helping men connect through functional fitness, cold-water therapy, and community. He’s building a new culture of men’s mental health in Ireland - one based on honesty, strength, and showing up.
In this raw and powerful conversation, we talk about:
Life before and after alcoholism recovery
Overcoming gambling addiction and shame
The loneliness epidemic and why men need connection
How fitness, community, and mindset shifts can transform your life
From rock bottom to recovery, Andrew shares how he rebuilt everything he lost - and why he now dedicates his life to helping other men do the same.
