SIMON MORRELL

I've never kept my alcohol abuse a secret. It isn't something I am particularly ashamed of, not something to feel proud about, but my withdrawal was a desperate attempt to rid myself of hangovers, falls, arguments and ultimately the man who caused me to drink so much in the first place; my father.

Drains, a Life of Adversity. I was three years old, I had been lost in the woods and, in a separate incident, fallen down a drain where I remained for quite some time before being found and rescued by neighbouring housewives searching for me.
