From 56 Pages of Chaos to a Life Beyond Her Wildest Dreams - AA Speaker - Patti O.

She blacked out her past, faked her own death to escape charges, and faced 10 years in prison—yet what finally broke her wasn’t jail… it was the unbearable pain of not drinking and not recovering.

Patti O. from Laguna Niguel, CA speaking at the 46th Tri-State Convention in Mt. Vernon, IL - November 4th 2006 Music: Deep by KaizanBlu 📖 Full transcript & show notes: https://sober-sunrise.com/aa-speaker-...
