Cutrone began drinking at a young age, and she quickly developed a dependency on alcohol. She also experimented with other drugs, and by the time she was in her early twenties, she was a full-blown addict.

Cutrone's addiction led to a series of bad decisions. She lost her job, her friends, and her family. She also spent time in jail. But even at her lowest point, Cutrone never gave up on herself.

With the help of therapy and Alcoholics Anonymous, Cutrone began to rebuild her life. She got a new job, made new friends, and reconnected with her family. She also started writing about her experiences, and in 2010, she published The Silver Tea Service.

The Silver Tea Service is a powerful and moving memoir. Cutrone writes with honesty and candor about her struggles with addiction and her journey to self-discovery. Her story is an inspiration to anyone who has ever struggled with addiction or any other adversity.
