  2. I woke up this morning to the blinding ray of sun streaming in from my window.
    I could have sworn that I had shut the windows, or did I? it must have been the 1865 chateau Lafite, I had taken last night, you see, my husband is a connoisseur of good wines and lately I have been binging out on his stash, holy gracious! my head feels like the Nigerian army is having a parade in there, in one unguided moment of depression, I had let myself slip into the abyss of the false comfort of alcohol, I needed help.
    Where are my manners?! my name is Lilian katanko, I am from the south south area of Nigeria, but my darling husband is from the north, I am a mother to three adorable kids,my husband is a wealthy oil merchant, I am just a housewife. I am happily married.
    I have always found it suspicious when women have to reiterate that they were happily married, I always felt they were trying to convince themselves that they were indeed happy, happiness radiates, I am not talking about a perfectly contoured face, well-shaped eyebrows, and plumped up lips, I am talking about, the twinkle in your eyes, the easy smile and the laughter dancing on the corners of your lips sort of happiness. The look of a contented woman who was happily married.
    I was not this woman, I was a sad, broken and recently turned alcoholic who hardly stayed sober anymore, I had become a bad mother, my kids cowered in my presence, No!, I don't hit them.
    How did it get so bad ? what happened to me? I was every guy's dream, tall, chocolate skinned, curvy, with long never ending legs, a pointed nose, and my grey eyeballs that always left men staring endlessly, I was the toast of my federal campus, I was beautiful with a brain that could have made Albert Einstein proud.
    I graduated top of my class, I had the whole world ahead of me. my parents were called lucky, to have a beautiful daughter who was academically sound, my life was in control and on track till I went for the mandatory NYSC and www.themfontimes.blogspot.com
