Charlotte Durcan was teetotal before she became horribly addicted to alcohol over a three-year period.
A mum who was drinking three litres of vodka a day was warned she had just one day to live at the height of her addiction.
She was suffering from seizures and blackouts, and without vodka her body would start shaking and sweating. "Then I started to realise it was a problem, when I could have a full bottle of wine and it wouldn't affect me." "So I was in intensive care, I was on oxygen and they got all of my family in to say bye to me. I was literally on end of life care."
The mum is now celebrating 11 months of sobriety and is paying back the help she received by volunteering for the charity who helped her into rehab, Inspire Lancashire.It focuses on those addiction issues who may not appear to be suffering on the outside, but are battling inner demons. "I was close to dying, all of my family thought I was going to die, but I didn't have a clue because I was so out of it. That was my outcome after two years of drinking heavily."
