In January of 2020, after drinking 1 gallon of tequila and ingesting 600 pills, Sarah found herself waking up in a hospital, pissed as all get out that the administration did not follow her “do not resuscitate” orders. Having been in and out of numerous treatment facilities, separated from her husband and child for years, suffering from mental and physical illnesses since childhood, with no will to live, Sarah’s self-worth was in debt and she felt it time to file for bankruptcy.
