A former drug and alcohol addict is using his boxing passion to help others struggling with addiction.
Prior to getting hooked on drink and drugs, Coatbridge dad Samuel Buchanan was a sporting star on the rise. The aspiring boxer said he hurt his loved ones when he became locked in a decade of 'carnage' which finally led to them telling him to leave.
The 39-year-old said there were days when he considered taking his own life as things in his life spiralled. It wasn't until after a run-in with the police, that he managed to turn his life around.
