SUSAN MARTIN: I used to down mini bottles of wine on the way to work and get so drunk I'd do something no mother ever should. My husband said he'd leave me and take the children if I didn't get sober... ⊖⊖

I can't remember what made me start drinking on the bus to work in the mornings. It was probably because I felt so ill from the wine, sometimes as much as two bottles, that I'd drunk the night before.
