An attorney by profession, Vicki came into AA through Al-Anon where she was in complete denial about her own drinking.
She stopped drinking when her husband did as the right thing to do.
She had a white light experience at the point of suicide.
"I was filled with such a sense of peace and serenity ... If I could only hang in and walk through this darkness that there would be a light at the end of the tunnel."
Through therapy she realized she was phobic, had not been in a store sober for years, and suffered panic attacks.
