A Woman of Dignity

For me, drinking and negative sexual behavior went hand in hand, practically from the beginning. Early sexual abuse and drinking drove my sexual behavior. I was the queen of the one-night or three-month relationship. I didn't know that if I didn't pick up a drink, I wasn't likely to wind up in bed with someone I didn't know. I did much that I'm not proud of. I got pregnant during a blackout. I drank to enable my sexual behavior and to rid myself of any shame I felt.
