Denise Welch has said she has been 'overwhelmed' by the response as she was flooded with support and praise over her latest milestone. The Loose Women star took to Instagram as she marked 11 years sober.
She shared two pictures - one before she quit alcohol while the second was taken more recently - side by side on social media as she reflected on her alcohol-free journey alongside her husband Lincoln Townley over the last decade. "11 yrs sober today!!! Giving up my disastrous relationship with alcohol changed my life, my husband's life and my children’s lives. Plus the lives of all who love me," she started the caption of the post.
Denise went on to tell her followers: "It wasn’t easy. Addiction is a cruel and frightening illness. But together @lincolntownley and I realised that we were destroying many lives including our own and we did it. I now have a wonderful marriage that is the foundation of my life.
