Graeme started drinking heavily when his 'granda' died 10 years ago and it almost caused his death from alcohol-related pancreatitis, however, he has since turned his life around.
A Glasgow man 'lived in a dark place' after the death of his beloved grandfather which sent him on a downward spiral of alcohol abuse and came close to killing him.
Graeme said: “I was very isolated. I would be sitting in one room in the house. The only time I would leave was to go and get alcohol. I lived my life from 10am to 10pm, due to Scottish licensing laws. “My WithYou worker has helped me through a very dark period in my life and for that I owe him everything.
“If I had a magic wand it would be so people would know when they had enough and be able to stop and go home.”
