A particularly low point occurred when he attended a friend's wedding.
"The drinks started flowing, and after too many shots I blacked out. My wife had to piece together the evening for me."
A chance encounter provided the turning point for change.
Still struggling to ditch the drinking habit, Will was walking home from the bar one afternoon when he stumbled upon a sign for a gym. He entered, and signed up for a membership.
"I started going to the gym every day and working with different diets," he said.
He became less dependent on prescription drugs, and while alcohol was a harder habit to kick, he eventually overcame it.
Will admitted "I am a very social person and going out to spend time with friends meant drinking".
With gyms subsequently closing due to the coronavirus pandemic, an obstacle lay in Will's path. His new-found gym membership was made redundant - but he improvised.
"I started simply by cleaning out my garage. I slowly started buying used, old gym equipment and made a makeshift garage gym."

For most people, resorting to a garage gym workout might not sound like a big deal. For Will, it provided him with discipline and a sense of purpose that was otherwise missing from his life.
"The gym saved me, but it really saved my marriage.
"I was able to transform into my best self, allowing me to give that version of myself to my wife every day."
Will follows a standard bodybuilding training split.
4-5 sets, 8-12 reps each movement
