Brian Dowling has opened up on self-medicating with alcohol to ease the pain of his mum dying.
Rosie passed away from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome at the age of 61 in 2018. Brian told the Irish Sunday Mirror: “I don’t self-medicate anymore either, overindulging in food or alcohol.
“I did that at the start. I was having a few extra drinks on a night out or doing loads of shots. My friends said, ‘Brian this is not you’ and they really helped me.
