I am the person today I always imagined I could be when I was a child. It's a fantastic feeling to look at yourself in the mirror every day and be able to say: 'That guy is great.'
Sometimes I would buy wine in a box, decant it into a litre sized water bottle in the garage or bathroom and slug that down quickly.
