I’m Patrick. A husband, dad, and 38 year old accountant who has made a career helping clients stay in control of their finances, yet spent decades in a secret battle to stay in control of my drinking.
My life didn’t look like that of someone who was hopelessly addicted to alcohol. I didn’t fit into my own cardboard cut out view of an alcoholic. I wasn’t pouring vodka on my cornflakes. I didn’t spend the day drinking cider on a park bench. I didn’t even drink every single day. I couldn’t have been an alcoholic.
