At 14, the now 31-year-old headed to a rave (or 90's dance party). Despite the atmosphere, Kendrick's brother told her she needed to wait two years to dabble in hard drugs. "Mike told me I wouldn't be allowed to take Ecstasy until I was 16, which was fine with me since I found navigating new environments hard enough when I was sober," she writes.

"I wouldn't have been able to make a speech if I had won because…I was high off my face," she says. Earlier that day, she underwent an emergency nasal surgery and was put on a painkiller drip.
