Hello everyone,
Alcoholism is a disease that truly has an impact on the whole family, not just the individual and it is incredibly difficult to overcome. The average age that a teenager in the UK starts consuming alcohol is when they are 13/14... but how does this first drink spiral into alcoholism?
Tell us when you started drinking and why. Did you immediately enjoy it or did it slowly develop? Did you start drinking to feel more socially at ease or because of another reason?
