Like Tommy Fury, booze destroyed my relationship – I was argumentative & erratic, sinking two bottles of whisky a day

A YOUNG woman has opened up about how alcohol ruined her relationship, just like Tommy Fury. Abi Feltham, 37, says her lowest ebb was leaving her ex-boyfriend's new home in New York, US - after three months of arguments, fuelled by booze. She says alcoholism turned her into an "argumentative, erratic" girlfriend, who only cared about where her next drink was coming from.
In April 2020, Abi got sober after moving into her parents' house in Berkshire, during the covid lockdown - and has been alcohol-free ever since. Now, she's in a "harmonious, healthy" relationship with her new partner, personal trainer Stefan Winder, 31 - but admits she couldn't have done it if she wasn't sober.
Abi, a content creator, from Richmond, London, said: "I know exactly how Tommy Fury feels - when you're drinking to a point you can't control it; to a point where, once you start, you can't stop. "Being an active alcoholic in a relationship is very difficult - being in a relationship with an alcoholic is impossible.
"All my relationships were based around alcohol - it was carnage. "When you have a drinking problem, it causes unpredictability in your relationships - so they were all very rocky.". She says her alcohol addiction started with drinking cider as a teen, in parks with her friends, to cope with her father's death when she was three.
