Bottled-up

Bottled-up Bottled Up helps people who live with a problem drinker, and people struggling with alcohol.

Founded by Dr. John McMahon and Lou Lewis, they are experts in addiction and counselling, through their own experiences they want to empower you to make change. Lou and John created Bottled Up because, just like you, they have also suffered the effects of alcoholism. Because they know that sense of being alone, not knowing where to turn. They started Bottled Up to help and support you and others like you. Lou was married to an alcoholic for 29 years till his death and talks openly about the mistakes she made, the times she got it right and the lessons she learned. John was an alcoholic and addict (clean and sober since 1984) and is completely frank about his drinking and recovery. Between them they provide a rare insight into both sides of the issue, the drinker and the partner. But they bring more than personal experience, they also bring professional training and experience. Lou is a therapist with her own counselling practice, so she brings a knowledge of strategies for change. John is a psychologist who taught addiction counsellors at the Centre for Alcohol and Drug Studies at Paisley University and who has published widely and presented his research at many international conferences.
