“I couldn't bear the humiliation when customers touched my
internal organs for the first time while I was serving alcohol so I started to hate my job and myself and
wanted to quit job but there was no any option so I started drinking and
smoking to get relief from the self-humiliation. Now I am addicted of Alcohol
and smoking so I don’t feel any humiliation even I have been sleeping with
multiple customers.”
