Linda Robson begged strangers on street to buy her vodka during crippling booze battle

Loose Women favourite Linda Robson has opened up about her rock bottom moment during the height of her alcohol battle after she asked strangers on the street to buy her vodka

Loose Women star Linda Robson has opened up about her previous battle with alcohol, confessing that she once begged strangers on the street to but her vodka during the height of her addiction.

Birds Of A Feather actress Linda, 64, was so hell bent on keeping her battle with alcohol a secret, that she would stop strangers on the street and beg them to go into her local corner shop to purchase the booze for her.

Things got so bad for Linda that her loved-ones, as well as her Loose Women co-stars, got her the help she needed at a time when she was at rock bottom by sending her to The Priory – a well known rehabilitation centre for those living with addictions.

Back in 2018, Linda became dependent on alcohol after she was prescribed a drug which was meant to help with her depression.

However, she ended up in rehab three times after becoming addicted to alcohol.

Thankfully following her stint in The Priory, Linda was able to turn her life around, and she recently celebrated three years of sobriety after alcohol addiction previously took hold of her life.

Linda now feels comfortable enough to open up about the lowest point in her life, admitting that she used to down an entire bottle of wine a night and would approach strangers on the street to buy her booze.

That was until one day, Linda accidently stumbled upon an alcohol crisis worker and asked them to buy her the booze.

“I’d find money and say ‘excuse me I’ve lost my key and I can’t get out. Would you be able to go and get me a little bottle of vodka from around the corner,” Linda explained.

“A couple of people did but one day I asked a man to do it and he turned out to be from an alcohol crisis place that my family had called to come and help me.

“I went through a really tough time, I was depressed and I turned to alcohol and had cleaning OCD,” Linda told Woman’s Own Magazine.

“I used to always have a glass of wine or spritzers in the evening, come 10 o’clock at night, but never in the daytime. And then I got put on medication that sent me a bit mad. I got put on a certain drug which was supposed to help the depression but it didn’t it just heightened it.

“So I had to go into three different establishments and it was the worst time in my life, I completely ruined my family’s lives.”After recovering from the traumatic time in her life, Linda has now has now been three years sober, and she doesn’t miss alcohol at all.
