Thinking he could keep his life in check as long as he avoided meth, Pat's reality was far from stable.
He opens up about the years he spent hiding his addiction, even from those closest to him, trying to appear 'normal' while battling his inner demons. The facade held until he was thirty-five, when a turning point came in the form of a 12-step sponsor who helped him see addiction for what it truly is: a disease.
