Jackie M. on Living with Bipolar Disorder and Overcoming Alcoholism
“Ultimately, I was like: well, if they're alcoholics, I mean I probably am too, but I, I do know I had to try everything out there before I would do aa, and that's the only way I was willing to come right, because the end of that search is an admission of something that you were getting a message that you were not.”
