Louise worked in health care and saw devasting effects of liver disease from alcoholism first-hand. She saw herself as different from low-bottom alcoholics, but eventually, she realized she was in the grip of addiction and needed to quit. Now she uses her medical background to inform others about alcohol risks and to help people make important changes in their lives. In addition to her blog "A Hangover Free Life", Louise was written an ebook and an online course, and many other recovery-related pursuits.
