I believe society often stereotypes people with addiction. My story reveals that the all-American girl next door can suffer from addiction and still care for her children, volunteer at schools and places of worship, hold positions of great responsibility and prestige, and thrive in the world around us.

It is in the recovery where new beginnings take shape and lead to a life filled with serenity and peace.

Alcohol being the worst, taking hold and gripping on to her life until she was able to escape its clutches.
