I didn’t know it at the time, but my binge drinking and need to be accepted by my peers were going to lead me down a dark path, and it would take a long time to remember who I once was. My youth, drenched in alcohol, drowned out the quirky little girl with the big brown eyes in a sea of chaos. I left her behind in my early teens, alone outside a nightclub in the wrong trainers. But I was a laugh, right? A never-ending drinks cabinet of joy … Until the doors fell off.
