Good story but kinda 🙄 at the end

I’ve read a lot of addiction memoirs and this one was better than some of them. She’s a ballsy chick for sure. The boyfriend was apparently as dumb as a toilet seat for not realizing after so many clues that she was using. And what’s up with the looks of disdain and judgment from the women in the meeting at the end? She had a lot of good reasons to end that pregnancy and was just as likely to continue in her recovery if she’d done that.
