The 4% I have to do to keep myself sober minded
I grew up in a working-class town on the outskirts of Glasgow, Scotland.
It was a very stressful environment. There was a lot of unemployment and heavy drinking. You could feel the insecurity and anxiety in the air.
The pressure on my parents to put food on the table and keep a roof above our heads was immense. This meant they had little, if any time and energy to provide emotional nurturing for me. Consequently, I grew up with very little confidence and self-esteem.
