When Lisa came to me, she was drinking all day, hiding bottles, and sneaking drinks.

Her boyfriend had threatened to kick her out unless she stopped drinking.

She had lost her job because she was drunk at work.

Lisa also got a DUI, could no longer drive, and was facing possible jail time and fines.

Others would tell her about conversations or events she had no memory of, leaving her unable to trust herself.

She was in a very low place in her life.

Lisa and I worked together for a year and a half.
