'On one random Monday, I just got up and thought to myself ‘this was it, I’m not doing this to myself anymore’.'
For six months, Adam Murray, from Huyton, would find “every excuse” to have a drop of alcohol. What started as one glass of wine with his dinner quickly turned into a full bottle and caused the 35-year-old to regularly wake up with anxiety.
The hospitality worker told the ECHO: “On one random Monday, I just got up and thought to myself ‘this was it, I’m not doing this to myself anymore’. It was getting to be out of control and too heavy. I would have a glass of wine and it would turn into a bottle. I would always go for a pint after work every other day and then it started to become pretty much every day.
After having a “strict word” with himself on a Monday morning back in February, Adam hasn’t touched alcohol since. Still being surrounded by it and the culture that comes with working in hospitality, he now opts for a zero-percentage alcohol option so he isn’t missing out on events. Adam said the main benefit of going sober has been a change in his physical appearance. Not nursing a hangover, Adam has been following a gym routine which has seen him lose two stone in seven months.
