To powerfully convey Shirley’s story, we utilized various techniques, including a dramatic portrayal of her life before and after her recovery, as well as an animated segment that explains the definition and dangers of alcohol addiction.

Moreover, we wanted to emphasize the many facets of Shirley’s identity, rather than reducing her to a single label. To achieve this, we incorporated hashtags that highlight her various roles and identities, demonstrating that recovery allows us to reclaim the many parts of ourselves that addiction can obscure.

Overall, Shirley’s story is one of hope and resilience, a testament to the power of seeking help and the many identities we can embody when we overcome our struggles.
