Struggling to Stop Drinking? What Michelle Heaton Learned About Recovery
In the first episode of Believe in People Extra, our new spin off miniseries, Michelle Heaton speaks openly about what it feels like to want to stop drinking and not be able to.
She explains the medical dangers she didn’t understand, the shame that kept her stuck, and why addiction isn’t about a lack of willpower. Michelle shares the moment that changed everything: seeing someone else in recovery who had what she wanted - and realising she didn’t have to do this alone.
This short episode explores:
- Why stopping alcohol suddenly can be unsafe
- How peer support works when willpower doesn’t
- Why rehab helped, but free AA and CA meetings keep her sober
If you’re thinking about recovery, supporting someone else, or searching for a place to start, this clip may help you take the next step.
