And they said, 'We need you to stop.'" I said, 'I need me to stop too,'" she said.

And it wasn’t six drinks in then. It was three drinks in, and pretty soon that became one, and that’s a scary place to be. It’s a scary spot.”She saw a chance to turn things around and become a better version of herself that would no longer hurt her or the people around her.
