Woman would wake up 'hating herself' with memory problems until she made change

Two friends who met on TikTok are determined to show "going alcohol-free doesn't mean boring".

Lily Quek and Stef Smith started to document their own separate sober journeys on the social media platform. Lily, originally from Fazakerley but now lives in Ormskirk, said the two friends " come from different ends of the alcohol spectrum" but both no longer wanted booze in their life or for it to "control" them.

The 30-year-old told the ECHO she considers herself to be a high-functioning alcoholic, whereas Stef, 38, considers herself to be a binge drinker.
