“I was out at Halloween in 2017 dressed as a skeleton but I was 29 and everyone was younger and I thought, 'is this what I want from my life?' No matter how many people told me before that I needed to change my life, I didn't know it. I left early and went home into a dark room, took the skeleton suit off and I prayed to God to help me. I'd never begged to God to help me. I could feel tears running down my face. I almost accepted that being an alcoholic was my fate but after praying for 10 minutes, I got up I felt the weight was lifted off my shoulders. For the first time in my life I thought I was going to be OK. I knew I couldn't do it on my own.”
