Janet Devlin talks about alcoholism

The Irish singer, Janet Devlin posted a new YouTube video recently in which she has spoken about her alcoholism and how she dealt with it. She said:

“I’ve been wanting to make this video now for five years.”

She continued:

“There was a lot of pain in me in those times. Now, no-one could’ve known that because the narrative I went with, or like, the narrative that happened through TV and things was… I was very shy, I was very afraid of people and like, ‘Oh, how cute!’ and ‘She’s so sweet, she’s so shy’.
“But it really was because I hated myself so much, I despised who I was, I had this voice in my head that would never quieten down.”

Talking further, Janet revealed:

“This is where booze came in. Booze gave me so much, it was like this magical juice that allowed me to come out of my shell, to lose my inhibitions and be talkative. I just couldn’t be carefree if I wasn’t drunk.”

Janet was lonely and bored…

As the video unfolds about her alcoholic habit, Janet, 25 stated further:

“I took to alcohol because, I was bored and lonely. And it made my life genuinely a hell.”

Due to the heavy drinking, Janet had once passed out in the bathroom before a red carpet event.

And the organizers had to alert the police. And after 3 days of drinking, Janet had to appear on the show Sunday Brunch. She was having a hangover and only with difficulty managed to complete the filming for the show. But Janet is now in a better position and she ended the video with a positive note. She said:

“Contrary to my tears, life is amazing right now. I’m putting out my latest album and putting out my book. I’m shedding the skin of my old self-hatred and the pains of my life. And I’m so excited to put it out there so I can just get rid of it and move on.”

She has come back to her career and it gives her a lot of happiness.
