But then...

On The Mend
Roy Stride (Scouting for Girls) Admits Alcohol Problem, Anxiety and Recovery Journey

Just drinking by myself to like sort of, you know, my brain sometimes feels like it's going 100 miles an hour.

On The Mend
Roy Stride (Scouting for Girls) Admits Alcohol Problem, Anxiety and Recovery Journey

Yeah.

And so to be able to turn off my brain, the only way I could really do that was drinking by myself.

And so there was two aspects.

I was a really massive social drinker and I was a really massive solo drinker.

by myself late at night, come in from the pub and then stay up till two, three o'clock in the morning just drinking by myself.

Or even if I was working in the studio late, start drinking and then just carry on.

The work would get less and less and it would just turn into a solo drinking session.

It's like where it just became unsustainable.

On The Mend
Roy Stride (Scouting for Girls) Admits Alcohol Problem, Anxiety and Recovery Journey

Totally.

old sort of crew members who came up and said, you never had a problem.

Roy Stride (Scouting for Girls) Admits Alcohol Problem, Anxiety and Recovery Journey

On The Mend
Roy Stride (Scouting for Girls) Admits Alcohol Problem, Anxiety and Recovery Journey

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

On The Mend
Roy Stride (Scouting for Girls) Admits Alcohol Problem, Anxiety and Recovery Journey

And I was like, yeah, I was, you know, and like, and I would be because I would still be there.
