Susannah recently revealed that she is a recovering alcoholic, explaining it was liberating to finally admit to having a drinking problem.
The author, whose mother was also an alcoholic, said she has been in recovery for seven years.
She made the admission during an interview with podcast My Mate Bought A Toaster, hosted by comedian Tom Price, on which celebrities talk about their Amazon orders.
Susannah was discussing the book Living With The Passive Aggressive Man: Coping With The Hidden Aggression – From The Bedroom To The Boardroom by Scott Wetzler.
The mother-of-three said: ‘I’m going to say this and I’m going to say this on your podcast and it’s not something I’ve spoken about before, really. It’s important. I’m in recovery.
‘I’m an alcoholic and I’ve been in recovery for nearly seven years now and at that time, as an addict, often what you would do was put all my own defects and find someone else to attach them to, so I thought my husband was passive aggressive, but actually I was the one that was passive aggressive and I’ve realised that over time and in recovery.
Feeling the chill! Susannah first posted photos from her outing earlier in the month, when she also wore a red costume
‘I was the awful passive aggressive and my poor husband was the one who had to live with it.’
Susannah, who has been in recovery since 2013, said her ‘lightbulb moment’ came when she realised she was accountable for her decisions.
‘It was so liberating and I felt a lot of shame most of the time, but when I realised that, the relief was so immense because I could change it,’ she said.
‘I wasn’t having to change someone else. It was down to me and I was responsible and accountable for becoming a better person and becoming sober and so it was the most extraordinary relief to have that lightbulb moment.’
