Drinking can be a common pass time for many of us. Most people don’t truly understand their relationship with alcohol and the long term physical, social, psychological or financial impacts. The Air Force recognizes alcoholism as a preventable, progressive, treatable, and non-compensable disease that affects the entire family. That simply means, help is available! One of the goals of The Air Force Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment (ADAPT) program, is to minimize the negative consequences of substance misuse and abuse to the individual, family, and organization. 

Erica took the courageous step of self identifying that she needed help with alcohol use. That may at times have a negative stigma but she thrived through it all, continued to lead Airman, care for herself and family. Erica shows us that you can get help and have a successful career as she was recently selected for the rank of Senior Master Sergeant, the second highest Enlisted rank one can achieve in the Air Force.
