Luke was introduced to alcohol around 10 years old didn’t initially like it but that came when he was 14 and started drinking on weekends with friends. Luke started to suffer a bit of depression in late high school and then found drugs and smoking dope when he was at university. He realized drinking was a problem in his early 20’s but couldn’t get the incentive to stop. When he was nearing 30 Luke contacted Lifeline when his daily drinking was out of his control but it wasn’t until his uncle got sober that he first went to AA. After 18 months he was back in rehab and then into AA and managed to get 5 years sober before another 3 ½ year break. Luke’s now 3 months sober and getting stuck into the 12 Steps.
