By her early twenties, Patrice was a nurse whose casual drinking had escalated into a daily necessity, mirroring the very struggle she had seen in her father. Interestingly, while Patrice's life was spiraling out of control, her father found hope and transformation through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Although he subtly encouraged her to consider AA, Patrice wasn’t ready to give up drinking until she hit rock bottom.
