Too many people think that life insurance is difficult or complicated, especially if you’ve had a problematic history with alcohol.
My first life insurance application was declined. I didn’t think I could get life insurance until I came across The Insurance Surgery!
Amy is a 35-year-old mother of two who overcame many obstacles to achieve a stable and happy life. As a child, she struggled with intense anxiety which led to self-harm. She grew up in an environment where there was immense pressure to conform to societal norms and those expectations took a toll on Amy’s mental health and she developed an eating disorder.
Amy found solace in travel, which allowed her to gain a new perspective on life and increase her self-confidence. However, her travels also involved excessive drinking, which soon became a habit that she couldn’t break. After three months of being away from home, Amy returned. However, she could shake off the drinking habit. Like many people that come back from travelling, she was living at home and felt back at square one. Amy’s drinking worsened and she felt like she was spiralling.
Finally, Amy sought help from a doctor and was able to overcome her addiction and go on to meet her husband. After five years of dating and renting, they decided to buy their dream home and to protect each other, they also applied for life insurance.
Amy began her search for life insurance online and visited several mainstream insurers. However, due to her history of mental health and previous alcohol history, she was declined by several insurance companies.
Feeling frustrated and penalised for something that happened in the past, she finally found The Insurance Surgery.

Risk is what life insurance is based on. The younger you are, the less you will have to pay for insurance.
