It’s been called a social lubricant, a way to unwind after a long day, or even something that gets the party started, but for many people, alcohol is a daily battle. Sometimes it’s an obvious struggle but many times, alcohol use disorder is source of shame, hidden from even those closest to the one facing the battle. Katie Lain struggled with alcohol use disorder for almost 10 years, cycling in and out of periods of heavy drinking and quitting alcohol. These days, she is free of its grip on her life and helping others break free.
