Kristin saw that her work was suffering: “I drank a lot when I was a teenager and I don’t drink anymore, because that’s when I thought, you know, I’m gonna end up a car wreck…I got into the acting programme, it was very challenging, I was hungover and I wasn’t doing so well in my classes. I thought, ‘Do you know what? It’s going to be one or the other. I can’t really have both.”
Morgan had to find self-control to quit: “I felt like a prostitute. I was working not because I enjoyed the work, but because I needed the money. (After the drinking episode) I recognised that it (drinking) had become a problem, so I just quit. I do have self-control. Once I realise that I’ve got to change something I just do it.”
