The book
A litre of gin a day. Nobody ever knew.
Nobody ever saw me drunk.
I had an engineering degree, a good job and a family. I ran the kids' football team and helped run the local Scouts. On paper, a success. Underneath, a complete cock-up. And nobody knew.
I didn't hide the drinking. I engineered it. The garage fridge. The second key fob. The glasses that looked like water. And every morning, I poured the lot down the sink and swore that was it.
Three hundred and sixty-five day ones. Then one that stuck.
This isn't a method, and it isn't a lecture. It's what really happened, all of it, the funny and the dark. It's a companion for anyone who has ever checked how much was left in the bottle before anyone else could.
