She continued: “I’d given up on my life and I didn’t care about losing my family or friends, it was only about where the next drink was coming from. My skin was grey, I was exhausted and my body was completely unrecognisable and bloated.
“Rehab saved my life – after my medical examination there, they told me I’d have been dead within days if I hadn’t got help."
