Alice's story is one that many will find both relatable and inspiring. Growing up in a privileged environment with ponies and a top-notch education, Alice seemed to have it all. However, beneath the surface, she struggled with intense perfectionism and fear. These pressures led to an eating disorder during her teenage years, marking the beginning of her battle with addiction.
Alice candidly shares how her desire to fit in and be rebellious in college led her down a path of drinking and drug use, which spiralled out of control. Her journey took a significant turn when she sought help at Broadway Lodge, a decision that she credits with saving her life. The episode dives into her time at the rehab centre, the support she received, and how it transformed her perspective on life.

She emphasises the importance of accepting help and staying connected with a supportive community. This episode is a testament to the power of recovery and the incredible changes that can happen when you take that first step towards getting help.
