Ruth went through an acrimonious separation and divorce when her three children were young; the youngest was five months old. She raised them on her own, struggling to put food on the table, went back to school, got a job in IT, and made her way to the top, only to lose her job and, along with it, her identity. During those dark 15 years she lived a double life, one as a successful businesswoman and mum and the second as a "party girl." Looking back at the party years sends shivers down her spine; she lived a dangerous and life-threatening lifestyle. Ruth is now eight years sober.
