Overview
- Speaking on Matt Willis' On The Mend podcast, Lulu said she maintains sobriety with a "healthy fear of relapse."
- She stated she has been sober since November 2013 after entering rehab and committing to recovery work, including regular AA meetings.
- The singer said writing her memoir If Only You Knew retraumatised her and forced her to confront the split between her birth self, Marie, and her stage persona.
- She described occasional temptations to drink, particularly around good wine with food, but said the personal cost keeps her from picking up a glass.
- Lulu recalled being a high‑functioning alcoholic who hid her drinking for years until her psychotherapist sister recognised the problem and helped her get into treatment immediately.
