Epilogue



Disclaimer: I do not own thess characters.



Doctor Dana Stowe-Biancavilla sat at her desk going over a patient's chart when she slowly put it down and took a few minutes to herself. She thinks about how much her life has changed over the past six months, she continued AA and is open with her fellow patients who also suffer from the disease of alcoholism.

Dana knew that alcoholism was a disease that you don't know is effecting you until something tragic happens but, she never thought it would be her that was suffering and she realizes although she may not be cured from her disease, as no one ever is, she is seeking treatment and pushing away the disease she considers deadly. Although alcoholism seems like it's something easily recovered from or something that can go away over night, it's not and she's fighting to not only to help herself but to help the other's around her.

She smiles as she turns the wedding band on her finger, then she suddenly remember's that Nick is waiting to take her to dinner.
