"I Was an Alcoholic From the Age of 14 - Now I'm Dying but Glad I'm Sober"

  • Abi Feltham, a 37-year-old from southwest London, stopped drinking at the start of April 2020 and is currently living with a diagnosis of an incurable brain tumour.
  • Her addiction grew as she used alcohol to suppress trauma from her father’s suicide when she was three, worsening after a 2019 move to Canada before returning home in March 2020.
  • Abi hit rock bottom hiding bottles in her childhood bedroom during the 2020 lockdown, endured psychiatric hospitalisation, and later experienced headaches leading to her June 2024 tumour diagnosis.
  • She shared that doctors gave her a prognosis of 15 years, but her strong-willed nature makes her believe she could live well beyond that, possibly up to 100. She also attributes her gratitude in facing cancer to the strength she gained through sobriety.
  • Abi’s story illustrates alcohol’s serious health risks amid rising alcohol-related cancer deaths in the U.S., which doubled from about 12,000 in 1990 to over 23,000 in 2021.
