[00:00:00]One day, I was walking through the house and I saw the edge of the ladder by the closet. And as I turned the corner, there was Mom on top of the ladder pushing away the clothes and going for a bottle of booze.

[00:00:18]Now, she couldn't even hardly remember where the bathroom was. She couldn't remember appointments. She couldn't remember anything. Alzheimer's had just ravaged her brain.

[00:00:31]But that drive to seek alcohol to drowned out the fear and the anxiety was so strong that she figured it out.
