"A letter to my drunk self" - Millie Mackintosh
This is Millie’s letter from Season 7. In it, she acknowledges her past self and the pain she was in, reminding her that she doesn’t need alcohol to be brave, likeable, or enough, because she already is all of those things.
"I want people to like me"
Daniel reveals that he wasn’t comfortable in his own skin and just wanted to be likeable, so he turned to alcohol to speed things, only to find it had the opposite effect.
"It makes you braver not drinking"
Suzanne talks about how we often believe alcohol gives us courage, but the braver choice is actually not drinking, it lets you show up as your authentic self.
"Not everything you think is real"
Issy recalls a group therapy meltdown, where writing down her thoughts helped her realise she drank to numb the intense negativity she felt toward herself.
"A letter to my drunk self" by Fred aka 1991 Music
In his letter, Fred tells his past self that alcohol is holding him back from becoming the person he wants to be and limiting his potential.
"The exhaustion of trying to moderate was hard"
Izzy looks back on how trying to moderate alcohol can be draining, and how, once she embraced sobriety, she found deep gratitude in life’s smaller moments.
"I wasn't in control of my own life"
Hayla unpacks her experience of life feeling out of control and how it led to her struggle with bulimia
"There was no real release"
Professor Green shares how, after working hard, he often turned to blowouts to cope, without realising it was making life tougher.
"A letter to my drunk self" - James Marriott
This is James’ letter from Season 6. In it, he addresses two versions of himself: one offering reassurance that it’s okay to enjoy life, and the other reflecting on the period when drinking became an unhealthy choice.
"Everything I do revolves around alcohol"
Matt talks about the moment it clicked, realising that life doesn’t have to orbit around alcohol and drugs, and that there’s a whole way of living that exists beyond them
"You have to do it for yourself"
James explains that sobriety is tough and it only works when you’re doing it for you
"You do focus on keeping the buzz going"
Fred admits that alcohol held him back socially; he was more focused on keeping the buzz going than connecting with anyone.
