Nikki was a busy Mum with a good job and despite her very heavy drinking, thought she was holding it together. But when she was assaulted at work, she knew something had to change.
I had my first drink at the age of 11 and I drank to numb myself as my family life was chaotic.
Things reached a head when I was a key worker during Covid, and I got assaulted at work. Even though it was a horrendous situation, this was the catalyst I needed to change.
I appreciate life's small pleasures now: such as one of my daughters wanting to sit with me in the evening while we both read or looking at a sunset together.
