t r a w e t S n a MyStory by I I was born in a town called Kirkcaldy, Fife Scotland in 1958. I went to Kirkcaldy High School in 1969 to 1974 and it was there I discovered alcohol. I started to drink at the age of 15 years old and I got in trouble with the police at a early age. When I left school I got a job as a van boy delivering bread and cakes to shops and off licenses and I used to drink on the job. I got caught drinking and I got the sack. In 1984 I went to prison for 6 months because I broke a pint glass and put it in a man’s face. That’s what the drink had done to me. In 1988 I got married and I was still drinking, but I denied I had a problem with alcohol. In 1991 my daughter was born. I did not see her being born as I was in the pub drinking. In 1995 I left the family home. I slept on the streets for a short while before I asked to come back to the family home. And then I called the AA Helpline. I stayed in AA for two years and when I stopped going to AA, I went back on the drink for the next 5 years.
