Addicted To Recovery : The Interactive Memoir Episode 3:
When did I know I had a problem? What are the red flags? In my case it was muddled by a personality that enjoyed the chaos, and thought drinking was just an extension of being a bit more dramatic than everyone else.
In chapter three, we flash forward again to the onset of alcoholic drinking, as I struggled to process a loss while trying to cut it at a challenging performing arts school. Unable to manage my emotions I took to day drinking and courting eating disordered thoughts and behaviours. This episode does contain references to suicide, without being explicit, so use your own discretion.
