‘I’ve been wanting to drink heavily ever since I can remember. Being a binge drinker was my destiny, Dianne. When I was little, I watched my parents be the life and soul of the party. It looked like a great way to fit in and be liked, so I drank to feel accepted. I think it’s become so ingrained in me that I can’t see a way out. It’s all I’ve ever known. It’s who I am.’
