'Drugs and alcohol have never let me down. They have always loved me. There are substances I can put into my bloodstream that make the world perfect. That is the only absolute truth in the universe. I'm being difficult because you want to take it away from me.'

Emma was having the time of her life. Now she's in rehab.

Her first step is to admit that she has a problem. But the problem isn't with Emma, it's with everything else. She needs to tell the truth. But she's smart enough to know that there's no such thing.

When intoxication feels like the only way to survive the modern world, how can she ever sober up?

Quotes

    I suppose it all started when I was much younger and met this guy. I bet that’s how a few of these stories start, right ladies?
    She’s trying to be funny but is failing.

    EMMA:
    I shouldn’t be here.
    DOCTOR:
    It’s pretty obvious that you should.
    You came here for a reason. That was a good impulse.
    EMMA looks at her hands. She’s shaking.The DOCTOR refills EMMA’s water.
    Your addiction will fight any progress. It’s a parasite and it will fight for its own survival until you’re dead. But progress is possible.
