He told The Sun: ‘I came to in the ambulance and it scared the hell out of me. I knew I would die if I carried on but emotionally I didn’t get it, the addiction was telling me it was normal.’
Kevin described the ‘blackout-come-stroke’ as a ‘moment of clarity’ as he told Coronation Street bosses about his decade long problem.
The actor continued: ‘I knew my drinking wasn’t normal – no one else I knew drank in the morning, cancelled plans because they couldn’t get a drink or only went on holidays where they could drink the most – but I couldn’t stop.’
Now, at 25-years sober, Kevin detailed: ‘Alcohol held me back, I couldn’t concentrate and made terrible decisions. Quitting alcohol gave me turbo energy.’
