Top 3 Quotes:

  1. While I’m bummed I had a drink, I’m proud that the work is working.
  2. I’m just over the normalization of it. It is ruining families, it is ruining lives. It is killing people. Third leading cause of death in the United States is alcohol. 
  3. I have always thought I needed alcohol to be beautiful, to feel beautiful, to be confident…and what I’m finding, and what I’m so f*cking crystal clear on 201 days in, is that I don’t.
