| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. |
| 0:02.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to a bonus episode of How Do You Cope, where I'm going to read out some of your correspondence. |
| 0:23.1 | This will also be the last episode of How Do You Cope for a while as we take a break to find more guests and I disappear off on tour with Ellis. |
| 0:31.4 | So please do stay subscribed to this feed as future episodes will land here and I'll let you know when they're due to come out. |
| 0:39.8 | Also, a final reminder that my book is available to pre-order. It's called Thirst, 12 drinks that |
| 0:46.1 | changed my life. And it's about me and alcohol. And also contain some reflections on discussions |
| 0:52.2 | I've had on how do you cope, especially those with |

| 1:00.4 | drink more than others, and what alcohol does for and to us, you can pre-order thirst, 12 drinks |

| 1:34.2 | that I was always a good, happy child. Classic mum. I asked her to listen to the episode before |
| 1:40.4 | she had to speak to the assessors, and it helped her understand why it was so important for me. |
| 1:45.3 | Although I didn't get the answers I was hoping for, the conversations that have been available |
| 1:49.5 | for me, especially this episode with Pierre, have really helped me understand myself and what I |
| 1:54.2 | need to feel safe and calm. It also helped the relationship with my mum, who went from being |
| 1:59.1 | quite hostile about it, to finding all |
| 2:01.5 | the potential autistic traits my dad has and enabling us to talk freely about it. It also helped |
| 2:08.1 | that John has talked about displaying similar traits to me as his methods for coping that don't |
