A woman who would drink two bottles of vodka a night after work has told of how her alcohol addiction 'almost killed her'.
Dawn Gadsby was warned at the age of 18 by a close friend that she had a problem with alcohol, after she realised Dawn "turned into a different person". Shrugging it off at the time, it took Dawn another 24 years to confront her addiction and give up alcohol for good.
The 50-year-old woman from Southport was "shy" and "felt like a misfit" while completing her A-Levels and starting university, but said after a drink she would become "more confident, bubbly, and popular". From there, her drinking grew and grew.
