Overview

- She has described her pre-sobriety life as chaotic and said recovery required stripping away her career, friendships and ego to redefine her self-worth.
- In interviews with the Big Tigger Morning Show and Rolling Out, she drew parallels between her own journey of overcoming addiction and her character’s path to healing in Finding Faith.
- Patton acknowledged losing friends and seeing work opportunities fade as she embraced sobriety but said she gained renewed joy by seeing the world through her son’s eyes.
- Finding Faith opened in theaters on June 16 and follows a woman seeking support from family, her pastor and friends as she rebuilds her life after tragedy.
