Catrina Slavin was a binge drinker since she was a teenager, often getting blackout drunk, and didn't seem to be able to stop once she had a drink or two. This weekend marks her three year sober anniversary.
A Lanarkshire mum celebrating her three years sober anniversary has completely turned her life around since giving up alcohol three years ago this week.
"I continued binge drinking, every weekend, I just couldn't stop. I would wake up, embarrassed and hungover and promise myself that was it. But I couldn't stop and the next weekend I'd be in the same boat. She started looking after her physical and mental health, took up hillwalking and started to give back.
"I'm also a Recovery Rhythms coach, that uses music and movement to heal through music and my podcast. Binge with Catrina, has been streamed thousands of times in 35 countries. I love my life now, I'm so happy and look forward to my day when I wake up.
