But I drew a line under everything that happened to me the previous year, in fact I drew a line under everything that had ever happened to me: the army, my marriage and its break-up; my discovery of drugs; chemsex and the craziness that followed; waking up to find a stranger having sex with me; neglecting so many people who cared about me.
