The Night You Stop Running from Yourself
What if everything you believed about happiness was built on a lie? Catherine Gray spent two decades chasing joy at the bottom of wine bottles, convinced alcohol was the golden ticket to confidence, connection, and fun. By her mid-twenties, she'd landed her dream media job in London, partied with celebrities in underground Soho clubs, and collected stories everyone envied. Yet beneath the glamorous surface lurked a terrifying truth: she was dying, one drink at a time. Her hands trembled so violently she couldn't sign her name. She'd arrive at restaurants an hour early just to get the "shake-stopper" inside her. Morning drinking became routine, calling in sick became strategic. The woman who seemed to have it all was actually drowning-and alcohol, the thing she thought was saving her, was holding her head underwater.
