When you look back at those drinking days, and, and I'm sure you're gonna tell us a bit about why it was you were drinking, when was it really that you first realized that alcohol had become kind of unmanageable, or that it felt it was bothering you? You know, tell us about that time.

Yeah.

So I describe myself as I drank too much, too quickly, and too often, and that was really how I felt when I got to the point that I knew I needed to make a change.

But leading up to that, I had started drinking when I was 21, so I didn't, I wasn't one of these people who went out when they were a young teen and was drinking a lot.

Um, I was into-- I played basketball, and I was into sport, and I only started drinking wine when I was 21, and because I thought it was expected, it was sophisticated, and I was going out with friends, and I started a job, and that's what people did.

Um, and when I drank at that point, I really enjoyed it, and it was social, and it was fun.

And then when, when I became a mum and was balancing being a mum and having a job, it started to feel a little bit overwhelming at that point, and I felt that I was drinking wine most nights at that point, one or, one or two glasses, because I, because of the pressure that I felt.

Is that right?
