"Drinking the pain away..."
Bailey is very insecure and in order to feel the slightest bit confident she has to drink. She in no way is a lightweight, seeing as she's been drinking since she was 16. She once was married, but her husband died due to a work-related accident when she was thirty-seven. He was killed instantly and it traumatized Bailey into putting her 17 year old child up for adoption, and turning to alcohol. There have been a few moments where she is sober, but it does not happen often because when she is sober she often spirals into depression or anger. She would love nothing more to see her child again, but doesn't want to at the same time because she is afraid it'll destroy her further, and maybe even ruin her son. She basically just wants to be loved again and to be able to hop off the bottle.
