WATCH: Breaking the alcohol dependency stigma

During Alcohol Awareness Week, a campaign is underway in Cumbria to break the cycle of silence and stigma that is often experienced by families affected by drink.

Theresa Hetherington is a volunteer worker with Unity, the NHS alcohol and drug recovery service, which is commissioned by the county council.

Ten years ago she was drinking three bottles of wine every day. She sought help for her addiction after she was arrested, and now spends her time helping others.
