Susan | November 2020 | 1 minute

In this blog, Susan shares her experience of problems with alcohol and mental health, and how the two were linked.

"Over the years, alcohol fed me many lies. But perhaps the cruellest lie it told me was that my anxiety could be fixed with another drink."

"I have always pictured my alcohol dependence as a dark shadow, an evil entity that ultimately wanted to kill me. In my darkest moments it would whisper to me that everyone I loved would be better off if I wasn’t around. Alcohol truly took me to the darkest of places."
