Out of Control: How My Addiction Almost Killed Me

Product Information

Every day I still get online approaches, or some form of social media connectivity, from the gay community. He has also played for Round Towers while in London since 2013, with the county team there interested in him.

There was force behind McNamee’s reaction, but the Derry boy hit the ground like he’d been smashed with a sledgehammer. The footballer is set to talk about his new biography in which he details a colourful past including appearing in gay pornography and a history of serious gambling debts. I was trying to show what gambling had done to my life and for the people that had seen all these things and read all these headlines, but did not know who I was.You might not think it now, but if you put your head down and put the work into yourself, you will get better. After getting a handle on his problem he has gone on to help others and in the game of life, McConville won everything back. It's to give people hope that you can fall and get back up again, get back up and play sport at the highest level or do whatever they want to do. Interesting memoir of a young Irish professional footballer with a bad gambling addition, so bad he stole, went without food to feed his addiction.

A winner of one All-Ireland senior medal and three Ulster titles, he was nominated for an All-Star in 2013 and 2015. The father said they learned in July that the DPP was not going to bring charges against Mr McCarron over the incident.The teenager's father said he is furious with the DPP's decision and in an interview with Independent. We got a name Cathal McCarron and looked up his Facebook profile and seen where he was working and his age and all that. I was a cautionary tale in everyday life, but being a Tyrone minor insulated me from the hard truth I needed to hear. When we flick on to watch soccer even on terrestrial television, Ray Winstone pops up in Cockney geeza format, offering us odds at half-time, imploring us to "Have a bang on that" like it's a cosy little crackpipe with your name on it. Since I don’t understand gambling addictions, it was good to get an insight into it and how low he could get with it.

I was bulling because I thought that was me gone for the following weekend’s opening league game against Cavan. McCarron met the girl last year despite being in a relationship with his current girlfriend, who is now pregnant with their child. This is a completely separate issue to me appearing on the show to speak about my autobiography 'Out of Control'. It was a few hours of editing and stopping and I said 'I can't do this anymore' but it was, 'look, you don't get paid unless you do this. Out of Control is a sports story unlike any other, a tale of success, lies, deceit, theft, recovery, rehabilitation and, ultimately, redemption.Even though I couldn’t hold onto money for any longer than a day, and that I was out of work at the time, I decided to move out of home. I know what I can do and I’d be confident enough of looking after myself if someone squared up to me. I wanted to show people I am just a normal person who had a good upbringing and my parents raised me well, with manners, the right way to be brought up. Tyrone manager Mickey Harte visited and gave McCarron his All-Ireland medal from Tyrone's 2008 victory, as the Dromore man did not attend the winners' banquet due to his gambling problems.
