SUMMARY:Maria – Gadens Stemmer
LOCATION:Amager\, Amagerbro Torv\, Amagerbro Metrostation ved elevatoren\
 , 2300 København
DESCRIPTION:My alcohol addiction has been a veil that has taken control o
 f my life\, while also being what made it possible for me to endure life.
  Addiction is an immensely powerful force that can make people betray the
 mselves and those closest to them in the cruellest ways. What do I talk a
 bout? I lived as an alcoholic for 18 years and always drank to pass out. 
 Alcohol helped me shut down when my depression became too much. Although 
 I made lots of rules about when I would drink\, it became harder and hard
 er to stick to them. The result was that my daughter was taken into care 
 – fortunately\, because she had a better upbringing than I could give h
 er at the time. It hit me hard\, and now I had no reason not to drink all
  the time.\n\nI meet a man who also has an alcohol addiction. We become a
  couple\, and things are good until they aren’t any more and the violen
 ce begins. I live with him for four years. I hardly ever leave the flat a
 nd live on my sofa\, surrounded by vodka bottles and violence. Living wit
 h alcohol addiction\, mental illness and domestic violence creates poor c
 onditions for a person to flourish and get back on their feet. But I have
  done that.\n\nToday\, I have been clean for five years. I have turned my
  life around – I’ve had enough to drink. By focusing on body\, mind a
 nd soul\, I am now in a place that neither I nor those around me had dare
 d to hope for. I haven’t got my old life back\; I’ve created a new li
 fe for myself\, and I’m very\, very happy about it!
