Having drunk alcoholically from the age of 14 until 39, Vince Cullen sat in his kitchen and poured a glass of lager. He made a promise to himself that this would be his last drink… ever. That was nearly 28-years ago. Since then, he has been associated with Wat Thamkrabok, the famous detox monastery in Thailand and Buddhist-oriented drug and alcohol recovery worldwide.
In 2009, Vince founded the Fifth Precept Sangha and since then has taught Hungry Ghost Retreats in the UK, Ireland, India, Nepal, Thailand and the USA. He is a board member of the Buddhist Recovery Network and has been a Buddhist Prison Chaplain at establishments in the UK.
