This year i have decided to run the London 10k for Alcohol Change UK. This charity offers support and advice for anyone struggling with alcohol issues and also offers help for affected friends/family members.

I have struggled personally with my relationship with alcohol, I was on a very slippery slope and it was charities and alcohol support groups like this that helped me through the process of finally quitting drinking. I've done things over the past year i would never have done still drinking; I took accountability for all the bad things i did and said, I apologised to everyone i affected with my behaviour, I changed my whole lifestyle, set boundaries with certain people, regained trust from my kids, I started living in peace instead of absolute chaos, I accepted all the help I could possibly get from professionals there's not nothing I didn't try or do to get to this point! I am now nearly 15 months sober and enjoying life and being the best mum i can be to my children.

Every day in the UK more than 20 people die as a result of alcohol. Alcohol harm – mental health problems, liver disease, one of seven forms of cancer, economic difficulties, and so much more – can affect any one of us, from any walk of life.
