Name: Claire

Age: 28

Sober Since: 06 / 22 / 2016

Sober For: 7 Years & 315 Days

What it was like?

Alcohol turned me into a person I didn't like, reckless and stupid; increasing my depression and anxiety. It clouded all my emotions but the day after I remembered the things I'd said and done which again led me down a dark depressive tunnel!

What happened?

Enough was enough - I can't just have one or two drinks when I start I needed to get wasted so I decided to STOP- full stop.

What it is like now?

I love being sober, when down or irritated I find other things to do like arts n crafts or chatting to a friend, meals out, exercise and I've joined a local slimming group.
