A mum who drank wine until she passed out after the school run told how her life was a "living hell."
Debbie-Lyn Connolly Lloyd, from Southport, worked with a friend doing face painting for children's parties, but by night she would drink herself to sleep with four bottles of wine. Once she had collected her four children from school, the drinking would start until she passed out.
Debbie-Lyn struggled to hold down her job as she was always hungover, and after becoming a single mum she found it increasingly difficult to cope. The 40-year-old told how her life spiralled out of control as she ended up losing her home, her children, and her pets, but when she woke up in a hospital bed three years ago after trying to take her own life, she realised she had a second chance, the MEN reports.
