I’m 54 with a 35-year-old body. It all started because I gave up drinking​

Personal trainer Annie Murray, 54, was not a problem drinker – she had drink-free days and never mixed her drinks. Yet, giving up completely has changed her life. Here, Annie, who is married with two children and lives in Steyning, West Sussex, reveals the milestone that tested her the most and how she transformed her body and her health.

How drinking became a habit for a generation​

I grew up in a drinking culture. I was born in the 1970s and when I reached 15 everyone started going to the pub. Everyone was drinking – it was just the thing to do. At university, I got my degree in computing and then went into software engineering as a computer analyst programmer. We would go to the pub at lunchtime and after work. On Fridays, we would go at lunchtime and wouldn’t bother going back.

I spent my first sober Christmas alone. It was the best one I ever had.​

• In 2019, after relapsing multiple times, I stopped drinking.
• I was discharged and decided to treat Christmas Day as any other day, not to be pressured.
• I didn't have the urge to drink, and it was exactly what I needed.

November 10th, 2019, could have been my gravestone date, but it became my sobriety date instead.

It was my fourth and final detox from alcohol addiction; I had been caught in a cycle of repeated relapse for several years — this time, I had to make it work.

During my hospital admission, I naturally thought about the future and the next steps in my recovery. At that moment, the thought of Christmas filled me with dread.

The reality is that alcoholism makes you more and more insular, and I was desperately clinging on to the few people I had left. Knowing I was going to be spending Christmas alone for the first time felt like a punishment. It was the opposite.

I ran the toughest race on the planet to get over my cocaine addiction​

At the height of my cocaine addiction, I didn’t want to go on living. At one point, I found myself hooked up to a drip in hospital, having pushed myself to the brink.

I thought I’d overdosed and called 999 thinking I was about to die. Looking back, my body had just had enough of two years of near-constant abuse.

I had started taking it on nights out with friends towards the end of my time at university; a casual user getting through half a gram, once a week. People think of cocaine as a drug taken to boost confidence and energy levels, and that’s how my experience began. It was part of the night life and readily available.
