'My average day consisted of nothing but drinking, 24/7.'
A former soldier who 'hit rock bottom' drinking nine litres of cider and whisky a day has told how he turned his life around after his addiction nearly killed him.
"When I woke up in the morning, I'd have a few swigs of cider and go back to sleep. I had to have at least half a bottle before I could function." "For many years I battled with it. There were times I abstained, but it always came back to me. I went to rehab in 2016 and I was OK for a while in that environment, but as soon as I came out I relapsed straight away."
He said: "I still vaguely remember the paramedics in my bedroom. When they got me downstairs, I remember the woman paramedic taking one look at me and saying we need to get him to hospital as soon as possible. He said: "I couldn't walk for a long time after leaving hospital. I was physically gone. OK, I thought, there's no going back. I was literally on my hands and knees crying for everything to be gone. I needed this compulsion lifted from me.
