It took a shock diagnosis for Daniel Wright to turn his life around for good
Daniel Wright glanced at the clock at the bottom of his computer screen. It was 5pm. He said goodbye to a colleague, closed his laptop lid and made the short walk from his home office to the fridge.
“I was drinking every other night at uni,” he said. “Then in the earlier stages I was going out in Manchester binge drinking every night. I got involved with cocaine and then got done for drink-driving. It’s all negative evidence linked back to alcohol. Daniel had been out in Stockport to celebrate a promotion at work when he was pulled over by the police. “I turned right when I wasn’t supposed to and the police spotted and pulled me over,” he added. “That’s done and in the past.”
“I spent day in the house because I was paranoid about it. The only way I stopped having those thoughts was by drinking, and that’s how it spiralled from there.” Don't suffer in silence Samaritans samaritans.org operates a 24-hour service available every day of the year.

It's a lifelong condition and can sometimes cause serious disability. For Daniel, it can often make his speech slurred. “At that point, I made the effort to give up drink completely,” he said.
