To recovering '80s kid Amy Liz Harrison, getting sober and giving birth were shockingly similar. And she's uniquely qualified to know since she's been sober for over a decade and has given birth to eight children (nope, this sentence has no typos). Depression, isolation, boredom and a devastating crisis of faith led to extra glasses (or bottles) of wine at the end of the day. Which eventually led to being led away from her kids in handcuffs. Ten years of sobriety and four more babies later, Harrison realized that giving birth and getting sober were kinda sorta the same.

He didn't talk about the hurt and the pain that Barr was causing his family. He just opened the Bible to a certain scripture, gave it to Barr and told him to read that scripture every morning before he left home.
