Elementary school teacher Kate Hannah struggles with severe alcoholism, leading to blackouts and a fake pregnancy to conceal her addiction. After a fellow teacher guides her to Alcoholics Anonymous, Kate achieves 90 days of sobriety, creating tension with her still-drinking husband, Charlie. The strain of her recovery and the truth about her fake pregnancy cause Kate to relapse, resulting in a violent argument and separation from Charlie. Months later, both sober, Kate and Charlie cautiously reconcile while playing croquet at their old house.

Kate Hannah, Charlie HannahI've been masturbating like crazy. I miss you. You could've been killed. But I wasn't. What are trying to say? Yeah, I can understand that. I used to worry about you. But now I know you're okay. That makes me happy...I mean, it fucking sucks that you're better off without me but I'm glad you're doing well. Would you move back in if I came to meetings? But, would you? So, would you at least...let me take you out on a date? Okay...fine. 0 for 2. Last question: can we just...play one more game? C'mon...you keep kicking my ass. It's embarrassing. You've gotta give me a chance to redeem myself. Please.
Um...so, I relapsed. Another shitty slogan I've heard in the rooms is that when you're sober for a bit and drink again "the disease waits for you, picks up where it left off." I'm sorry you guys, but I HATE those slogans. They all sound like bumper stickers. But, I have to admit...for me, that last one is pretty damn true. When I drink...I become another person. And that person is a pretty big asshole. Well, unless you want to give me drugs or buy me drinks -- then that person is awesome.
I was in North Carolina for a while -- Durham -- playing minor league ball. I had some real heat. That's when I met Crash, here. He'd been sent down to single-A to teach me how to carry myself as a pro ball-player. We got involved with the same woman -- an older chick -- but Crash won her in the end. He's really taught me some...important life-lessons.
And I know it's wrong, but -- in meetings I stare at your lips and your legs and all I can think about is fucking your moist pussy.
Mrs. Hannah -- did you kill the baby?
