Quotes

[18:13] – “That label of an alcoholic is so tough because only you can really diagnose yourself.” ~ Hilary Phelp 

[23:10] – “I didn’t know how to feel feelings because anytime I felt a feeling, I would drink over it.” ~ Hilary Phelp

[26:03] – As women, we continuously say yes to things and put things on our plates. We start to lose who we are and the purpose of why we think we’re here. So, if we keep saying yes to certain things, we say no to ourselves.” ~ Hilary Phelp
