She got pregnant and lost her baby and because she refused to tell the school principal why she had missed school she was kicked out of school. That led to more destructive behavior. She was in several relationships where she was abused and assaulted. She was sober on and off for a few years.  After a suicide attempt she decided she had to stop or she was going to die.
