You always found solace in alcohol. Since your teenage years, certain circumstances led you to struggle with alcohol dependency.

Your dependence on alcohol was passed down from your parents. From the age of five, you watched them regularly consume alcohol.

As soon as you enrolled in college in the United States, you cut all ties with your parents. It seemed like a fresh start, but soon you found friends with whom you often drank at a bar.

In that bar, you met Jill, with whom you quickly developed a romantic relationship. With her, you felt loved, but from the very beginning, you lied to her about your age. You had recently turned 18, but you told Jill you were 20.

Another Friday. Jill picks you up drunk from a friend’s house. Your phone and ID slip out of your skirt pocket. Jill picks them up from the ground, and her eyes catch the date of your birth.
