A mum who was drinking three litres of vodka a day was warned she had just one day to live at the height of her addiction. Charlotte Durcan, 30, from Lancashire, says she was a teetotal three years before her addiction reached its peak, reports the Manchester Evening News..But the self-confessed 'extremist', had spiralled out of control within 36 months and was in danger of losing her life due to the volume of alcohol she was consuming.She was suffering from seizures and blackouts, and without vodka her body would start shaking and sweating.

When Charlotte suddenly realised that she couldn't manage without a drink that she knew the drinking had become a serious addiction.

The mum-of-two said: "In the mornings, I would have to have a drink, just to level me out."It would be vodka and that would be a pint of vodka neat.

That would be literally to stop me from shaking and stop me from being too sick and sweating - that'd work."From there, it would just carry on throughout the day, but obviously, when money went tight and things, I would try and get family to get me drink.
