I turned 50 this year. It had an impact on me, a good one. Life is good. I have 2 beautiful children, my family who are all in the UK, a great circle of friends and a job that makes me feel valued and appreciated. I had some general health tests done and am in very good health. So why oh why am I sinking a litre of wine every night until I crash out on the sofa. I’ve always liked a drink and was a proper party girl pre kids. My drinking has spiralled out of control the past 2 or 3 years. It’s time to get sober. My kids’ Dad is an arsehole and I hate the thought of them having to live with him if something happens to me. I lost my Mum when I was 19 and it’s affected my whole life. I’m doing this for me and my kids.
