This sober couple who are active in A.A. talk how to stay sober during the coronavirus pandemic.
As many of us sit at home during this coronavirus pandemic, jokes and memes about relying on alcohol to get through this time — along with high praise for governors who have deemed liquor stores essential — have been flooding social media feeds. But what about those who are fighting to maintain their sobriety?
“Alcoholism is a very insidious disease, it sneaks up on you when you least expect it,” explains Patti, who married George last June. “Thank God I'm married to a sober man — and we have separate journeys, because we have to have our own journey, but we also have a journey together in sobriety.” She adds, “We live a sober life, and it's actually a really amazing life.” , George and Patti maintain their sobriety in part by supporting fellow alcoholics.
When Patti first got sober, she shares, “I had to be willing to do anything, because I knew that I was dying,” she says. “When I first got sober, going to meetings was my lifeline. I went two to three meetings a day. My heart hurts just knowing that they don't have that right now.”
