“My husband died in March and when the dark nights started coming back, I thought ‘it’s time I went to wherever he is’. I didn’t want to be on this earth, and I just drank and drank.
“I attend Stoke Recovery Service two days a week and I get all the help I need. Going to Stoke Recovery Service has changed how I feel about my life - okay, I’m an elderly lady now, but I still have things to give. I’ve still got a life to live.”
