“Very difficult to get here”
But the consumption quickly escalated and Ellen Bergström did not feel well. In the program, she reveals that just a few hours ago she decided to stop drinking again.
– I have drunk a glass and I didn’t feel like I wanted to drink more. Then some time passed and as time went on I felt that I increased the amount, from one glass to two glasses and so on. I had decided that I will drink so much and I didn’t keep it. So then I just decided like this: Enough. And that was yesterday. So it was really hard to get here today.
– Oh, replies the presenter Renée Nyberg shocked.
