She begins by recounting her challenging childhood, marked by her father's alcoholism and her mother's religious fanaticism. From a young age, Amy was determined not to follow in her father's footsteps, yet life took unexpected turns that led her down a path of addiction.

Together, they navigate the challenges of life with a shared understanding and commitment to sobriety. This episode is a moving testament to the possibility of change and the power of community in overcoming life's toughest battles.
