01 What it was like
I was suffering badly from untreated alcoholism. I ended up isolated, alone & at my worst found myself drinking two bottle’s of spirits per day at my flat. It was absolutely hell on earth & I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I was mentally, physically & spiritually sick & I wanted the pain to go away that much I thought death was the best option, thankfully I was so wrong.

02 What happened
I went into recovery July 2021, I never got consistent emotional sobriety right away & was relapsing for 9 months on & off at first.
03 What it is like now
Life is good today, like a breath of fresh air. I have my family back in my life & more importantly they now have me. My recovery is going from strength to strength & I’m finally finding out who I am as a person & now helping others. If there’s anyone out there struggling please know your no longer alone & there’s help out there for you. I wish you all well on your own journey. Take it one day at a time!
