'Compo cash made me an alcoholic - I slept with a bag of cans like it was a teddy'
Sam Hancock was eight when he fell from his maisonette balcony in Collyhurst. He was fixing his bike when he leant on a broken glass pane and plunged 25ft to the ground.
It all went downhill from there. Sam, now 30, used the small fortune to enjoy nights out with friends. But what started out as social drinking spiralled into drinking every day – with Sam soon spending his days drunk and alone in his bedroom listening to Celine Dion. "I was an addict and an alcoholic but I was in denial and wouldn't accept that I had a problem," Sam, who still lives in Collyhurst, added.
"I had to change my lifestyle and who I knocked about with. I wanted to stop then. I had had enough. The part was over, the curtains were closed. That's when I started being open and honest about [my struggles]."
