It's like a whole new life, and I'm learning who I am again. It's bizarre; it's like I've gone back to my early teens and have a second chance in life. It's been the best thing I've ever done.
Imagine being in your early 30s, single, and deciding to quit drinking. That's exactly what Becky from Leeds did, and her story is both relatable and inspiring.
