Rosie's story: “I am not drunk Rosie. I am not my mistakes. And I forgive myself.”

Rosie | September 2022 | 1 minute

Rosie started drinking at 14 and considered herself a party animal. However, during the 2020 lockdown, Rosie’s drinking took a turn for the worse and she decided something needed to change.

During the 2020 lockdown, my drinking habits took a drastic turn. I was drinking most nights, so by the time the restrictions were lifted, I had a whole new relationship with alcohol and my limits were non-existent.

I have repaired the relationships that were strained due to my drinking. Now every single relationship that I have is deeper, healthier, and genuine.

As a society we place alcohol on such a pedestal that we forget the harms it brings. But we demonise and judge the people who develop issues with it.
