The Fix: 'I remember looking at the patients and thinking I should probably be in that bed more than they need to be'

Milly Chowles meets Georgia, whose addictions took hold at University. By the age of 25 she had pancreatitis due to her drinking and was having regular seizures. In a 'dry house' to recover she had a relationship and became pregnant, though she'd been told that the damage to her body meant she was infertile. Having a baby, she says, has saved her and given her a reason to stay sober.
