Denise pictured with her son’s father Tim – the pair were married for 24 years but split in 2012
Denise shares her two sons with her ex Tim.
The pair tied the knot in 1988 but divorced in 2012.
Denise is now married to Lincoln Townley.
Back in April Denise celebrate 13 years of sobriety and recalled shocking details from her last ever alc0h0l b1nge.
She wrote on Instagram: ’13 years ago today I had my last alc0h0lic drink. I had woken up, as often happened, with no memory of the night before’.
‘I was in the middle of a huge theatre tour and was faced with the thought of a long car journey to Richmond and 2 shows!! Then I looked around and realised that my husband, then boyfriend, was watching me and he threw a newspaper on the bed’.
‘It was me. Papped. Leaning over the bonnet of a car shouting at someone and pointing. No recollection. The bathroom door of his flat had been pulled of its hinges and a lamp lay on the floor’.
Denise continued: ‘Lincoln had stopped dr1nking 2 months before. I had told him I didn’t have as big of a problem. I did. A huge one. He told me he loved me but he couldn’t live like this’.
‘The thought of losing him terrified me. I was d3pressed, anxi0us, scared, embarrassed, appalled at my behaviour and full of shame. I gave up dr1nking that night. It is the best decision I have ever made’.
Denise Welch makes very rude comment about her appearance
‘Not just because I now have an amazing marriage to the love of my life, but because our three children [the artist also has a son from a previous relationship] can live their lives knowing that we’re safe and happy.
‘Their lives aren’t led never knowing what or where we’ll end up’.
Denise’s post went on: ‘My husband is now a successful international artist and I’m still working on television and on stage. The ripple effect on our families is what I’m most proud of. The look of love and respect from those who love us is something I cherish every day’.
‘If alcohol is making you and the people you love unhappy it’s time to stop.
‘There is help and support out there. I still suffer from episodes of clinical depressi0n but they are not compounded by alcohol and dgs so my recovery is quicker’.
Before adding: ‘I self medicated my illness for many years and became an alc0h0lic. I’m grateful for every day I wake up sober and I regained the respect I had lost.
‘My children are proud of me and that’s the greatest gift of all. Thank you to @lincolntownley for being by my side every step of the way’.
