One month into the first lockdown Jon Williamson stood on the edge of relapse.
The 41-year-old, from Northumberland Street in Norwich, had taken his last drink in June, going from drinking at least 60 units of alcohol a day to sobriety in nine months.
“My sister died from pancreatic cancer, ” he said. “Watching her die like that made me need to stop.”
But when the country locked down in mid-March, Jon’s routine of four to five sessions of therapy and two to three AA meetings a week was pulled out from underneath him.
