Sober 34 years since 1953, Patsy recently lost her first born son but that was not enough to drink. He, too, had double digit sobriety and died sober. Her dad was an AA member.
"But I had to step aside and cast aside everything that was good and clean and decent in my life because it interfered with my drinking.
I blasted through the lives of everyone I touched and you don't know what it means to me today to sit over there in that coffee room and touch your life gently and with love."
