You worked your ass off... I'm way more high functioning... I do not regret it. And Tracy said, we didn't start out thinking, okay, that's it, I'm never gonna drink again. The longer I go, I'm like, I can't see adding it back into my life. I just, I can't.

By debunking the myth of 'high functioning', they emphasize that true potential is only unlocked when one breaks free from the bottle.
