TikTok Influencer Who Fought Drink and Drug Demons Determined to Help Other Addicts

SHE GOT GAME –

Dec. 23, 2022 – “I became an alcoholic in my late teens and early 20s and joined the rave scene. I then started taking ecstasy four or five times a week, and alcohol basically every day for years.

“I was taking speed and all sorts of drugs to the point where I had spent half of my life on drink and drugs.

“I ended up with a heroin addiction.

“I got medication to come off that and I tried Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, but none of them really worked for me.”

Around three years ago Lynsey began getting into track running and also pursued a ‘mindset’ course run by Lurgan woman Kim Calvert, whose business specialises in mentoring others on how to improve their mental wellbeing.

“She is helping people all over Northern Ireland,” Lynsey explained.

“I practised what she told me to do every single day.
