I get spiritually sick, I get the mental obsession and then I physically pick up a drink. But see, I didn't know that for a long time.
Imagine being just 14 years old and already a regular at local bars. That's how Lisa S's story begins. Growing up in San Diego by way of Boston, Lisa found herself seeking solace in alcohol at a very young age. She recounts her early days of drinking, driven by fear, doubt, and a desperate need for acceptance. Unable to talk to anyone about her feelings, she turned to alcohol as her confidant.
