She drank Listerine when her parents wouldn't let her have alcohol

Growing up outside Boston, then years of relapse, detox and treatment centres before anything held.

Caitlin grew up outside Boston. When her parents stopped her drinking, she drank Listerine instead. That is where this starts.

What follows is years of alcohol and drugs, repeated relapses, detoxes and treatment centres, and the painful cycle of getting close and losing it again.

Faith and therapy are both part of how she finally got out. She is clear-eyed about how long it took.
