Dominique's Journey: Finding Sobriety Amidst a Pandemic and Hurricanes
It perfectly described the fact that one glass of wine wasn't enough, or one was too many and two wasn't enough, kind of thing.
What happens when a global pandemic and natural disasters collide with a personal journey to sobriety?
