Clare Pooley was a working mum and loved a bottle of wine...or three. Her love of drink began to get in the way of her love of life.

The realisation that alcohol was no longer her best-friend caused her to break up with it.

But the ensuing breakup showed her how being sober can be just as much fun if not more than being drunk.
