Lisa Riley stopped drinking alcohol as she admitted she was using drink as a 'comfort blanket'
Emmerdale star Lisa Riley was flooded with sweet support from fans as she’s just a few months away from celebrating nine years sober.
Lisa stopped drinking alcohol as she admitted she was using drink as a "comfort blanket" to cope with the grief of losing her mum to cancer at the age of 57.The star previously appeared on Loose Women and at the time she explained: “I vividly remember when we were filming Fat Friends in about series three or four – and especially four when my mum died – I know I was self-medicating fully. I was having a bottle – or a bottle-and-a-half – of wine a night.
Lisa shared a quote, which read: “Going sober doesn’t make you boring. Being hangover all day does.” Alongside the post she wrote: “LOVE…..LOVE…..LOVE THIS. Thqnk you @soberdave it makes so much sense!!!! Can you believe in August I will be 9 years sober #sober #soberlife #free @sobergirlsociety #sobergirl.”
@k.chandler1964 said: “Well done Lisa , and everyone else that did it.” @mandy_castleton commented: “That’s absolutely amazing. Well done Lisa.”
