MIchelle Heaton has shared a series of painful photos from her alcohol battle and rehabilitation as she marks 14 months sober and aims to help others struggling with addiction.
Having struggled massively with the country being in lockdown, Liberty X star Michelle is reported to have used 'alcohol' as a crutch, before tackling her issues by checking into famous clinic The Priory. In a TV interview last year, one of the doctors who treated MIchelle, Niall Campbell, confessed to her that he wasn't sure how she was 'still alive, ' telling her: "Your liver function test was terrible. You had alcoholic hepatitis, you were heading towards cirrhosis, that’s permanent. And one of the enzymes that we measured, gamma GT, should be about 50. Yours was 2,053.."
Speaking candidly about her battle with alcohol, Michelle admitted that she "couldn't breathe without drinking," adding: "I was able to hide it with the lockdown, able to manipulate it. We weren't interacting with people, so ultimately it became a party for one.
