Deborah Driggs career was skyrocketing and she was featured in Playboy, she was in movies and television. All that success was masking her addiction to alcohol, addiction to fame, and trouble with relationships, which hid the trauma and neglect she experienced as a child. Growing up with a father that was addicted to alcohol and a mother that showed her little affection. She started drinking at a young age it wasn't until she hit rock bottom later in life when she lost her money, her children were living with their father, and was in and out of institutions that she knew she needed help. She now helps others suffering from addiction to seek the help they need. No one should feel ashamed about asking for help. Her story reminds us that we must deal with our pain and trauma in order to lead truly happy and healthy lives.
