Brain Injury:  Fall

Explanation of Mask: Hello! My name is Frank, but I also go by Frankie. Years ago, I was a recovering alcoholic who frequently attended support groups and AA meetings. One night, I started drinking again and fell, hitting my head in the process. Now, I am sober and have been sober since I entered a neuro day program. Alcohol used to consume my life, so the main way that I cope is through music. I have played the guitar for 40 years and I can say that I am a much happier person now. Alcohol used to keep me away from my true passion for music and now I am able to play the guitar and listen to music as freely as I’d like.
