When I went to see Lee I was feeling really stuck, it was like my life had come to a dead end and there was nowhere to go. I was bored, lonely and depressed and using alcohol as an escape. I was drinking by myself every night. Four sessions with Lee changed all that. She was so kind and patient and totally supportive. Where I was really down on myself, she never judged me or gave advice but always encouraged me to look at my strengths and achievements and in the work we did together I also realized how much my early childhood was influencing my behaviour as an adult. I set myself the goal of being alcohol-free for 8 months and then being able to enjoy an occasional social drink. When I reached my first milestone, 3 months alcohol-free, my girls gave me a beautiful gift. I exceeded my goal of going without alcohol for 8 months, not because I was trying but I just wasn’t interested. I now enjoy an occasional social drink, I have more energy and enthusiasm than ever before and am looking forward in my life, because I’m in control.
