What once saved me was now killing me. Slowly but surely.
I thought alcohol was the love of my life – turns out is was a homicidal maniac.
Mesmerised, I was dragged into its whirlpool, sucked deeper and deeper into a chemical vortex. A magnetic force that lured me in while destroying everything in its path, rendering me powerless.
What began as a feeling of connection, ended in isolation and a slow descent into despair, leaving me a spiritually bankrupt hollow soul in a wreckage of broken relationships and shattered dreams.
This journey I chose to take, though fraught with challenges, chaos and calamity, also had the possibility of redemption and rebuilding.
And that’s what I did – one day at a time.
My life has been a rich tapestry of experiences – coloured by addiction and ultimately transformed through recovery.
I have worn many hats: cook, dishwasher, caterer, barista, retail assistant, restaurateur, secretary, account executive, barmaid, child care worker, mature age student, actress, volunteer worker, rehab assistant, nanny, cleaner, trolley-dolly, housekeeper and accountant.
And no matter the circumstances, I have given it my all.
Throughout my journey, people often told me I should write a book – so I did. My hope is that this raw and unfiltered memoir brings readers a sense of relief, healing and perhaps a few answers of their own.
From my heart to yours,
Suzie
