Balancing Sobriety and Relationships: Elizabeth Anne Kilpatrick's Story

The funny thing is is that now I really don't do na beer, I don't really do much of that, like. Good company is still good company, oh yeah, and it's much better when you can wake up sober, yeah, well, so, Elizabeth, I just want to recognize you and say: I appreciate you that you have been walking this journey and keeping these boundaries and promises to yourself.
