Rhys Thomas is a former Welsh International Rugby player who had his career suddenly ended by a heart attack, then spent the subsequent years on a self-destructive path... before turning his life around.

In last episode's Part 1 of this intense and heartfelt interview, Rhys spoke about his life and career up to the point of the heart attack.

Here, in Part 2, Rhys shares his incredible rollercoaster journey from the heart attack onwards. The loss of identity, the abandonment of hope, the struggles with alcohol and the self-denial of the problems he so clearly had...

Then, an intervention from his friends and family led to a life-changing time in rehab and a years-long journey of self-discovery and self-improvement (all the time being open to outside help as he never was before).

He is now able to answer the question "Who is Rhys Thomas?" and his perspective, growth and positivity are truly inspirational.

His story and how he turned it around will make you ask questions of yourself and also give you the tools to potentially take the first steps on your own transformation.
