My previous superiors didn't know about it, but given the situation I'm in now, you should probably know.", she began to speak slowly, carefully considering each word, it was obviously not an easy subject, "It's... extremely personal, but it may affect my service.".
She paused for a moment as if considering how to put it, whether to start with some excuses or to drop it outright. At first, she was closer to the former option. In the end though, she never considered herself a very good speaker, so she decided to say it straight out, "I'm addicted to Cardamine. In a few years it will be ten years, I can't stop it and like a diabetic, I may find myself in a situation where my reasoning abilities are diminished. You should know that about someone in my position.".
