If I'd have known this at the beginning, you think it's just losing friends and losing this, but I've got such an amazing life. I don't even have time to do the things that I want. I can't fit everyone in because I've got so many nice friends and so many nice things going on.
Imagine trying to quit drinking multiple times, only to find yourself back at square one. That's Hayley's story, a 35-year-old from Worthing in West Sussex, who is now almost five months sober. In this episode of 'Voices of Sobriety', Hayley opens up about her struggles with alcohol and recreational drugs, and the emotional rollercoaster that accompanied her journey. Raised without knowing her biological father until her mid-30s, Hayley faced significant emotional challenges.
