My weekend drinking binges we more out of habit than need. It was Saturday night, so I must drink. And drink. And drink.
This disease owned me. The longer I sat and drank, the more complacent I became. I had interests, a career, and things to do. I just didn’t care about them anymore.

There’s a phrase thrown about—this idea that “my kids will keep me sober”—like my children will fill the hole I tried to fill with whiskey.
I was seventeen when I found alcohol and began to self-harm. It wasn’t drastic, but the relief I found was a catalyst for the next six years.
At 38.5 weeks pregnant, the delivery of my second child was quick and easy, but after she was born the mood in the room changed.
