Alison was 'stuck in a spiral' until she made a huge life change
For almost Alison Calder's entire career she was surrounded by wine. At work meetings, formal events and social occasions, the drinks were often flowing.
It was also began playing a major role in her personal life too. The 'champagne breakfasts' in her old job had been replaced by a drink at home after work. Drinking became 'less of a fun thing to do and more of a habit'.By this time, Alison knew that drinking and working in the industry was going against her 'gut instinct'. She tried to set herself rules and time periods for not drinking, before cutting them short with the next glass.
"There was one friend in all the years I was drinking heavily... who said 'you can't keep trying to keep up with the lads, because you're drinking wine'. At the time I was so furious with her. "I knew I was really happy without it, but I kept going back to it as a coping strategy." She added: "I would keep getting closer, and I'd say to my partner 'I think this is it, I think I've got it this time'.
"At the end of the day, alcohol is a depressant, some people react OK with it and some people don't. I didn't, it made me feel really, really low, so taking it out of my system has really helped me feel confident and it's meant that I'm able to do things that I probably wouldn't have done before."
