Gab grew up as the youngest in a loving family and had a normal childhood but suffered anxiety from a young age. Drinking started in her early teens, she didn’t like the taste but loved the effect. Gab was a blackout drunk from the start but didn’t see her drinking as any different from her friends. Her relationships were always centred around alcohol or addiction. Drinking progressed and eventually she hurt those close to her, worried her family and had accidents while drunk. Gab managed to stay off alcohol for over 3 years but picked up sleeping pills and stimulants to help her compensate. In her late 30’s she sought help through a rehab centre and was introduced Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Gab has now been able to stay sober for over 6 months and is now living a much happier and independent life.
