What could possibly be “lucky” about addiction? Absolutely nothing, thought Laura McKowen when drinking brought her to her knees. As she puts it, she “kicked and screamed . . . wishing for something - anything - else” to be her issue. The people who got to drink normally, she thought, were so damn lucky. But in the midst of early sobriety, when no longer able to anesthetize her pain and anxiety, she realized that she was actually the lucky one. Lucky to feel her feelings, live honestly, really be with her daughter, change her legacy.

Thompson wanted to get wasted with me... these are my fantasies lately. Too bad I've gone sober. When Sacha Z. Scoblic was drinking, she was a rock star; the days were rough and the nights filled with laughter and blackouts. Then she gave it up. She had to. Here are her adventures in an utterly and maddeningly sober world... and how she discovered that nothing is as odd and fantastic as life without a drink in hand.

For Sarah Hepola, alcohol was "the gasoline of all adventure." She spent her evenings at cocktail parties and dark bars where she proudly stayed till last call. Drinking felt like freedom, part of her birthright as a strong, enlightened 21st-century woman. But there was a price. She often blacked out, waking up with a blank space where four hours should be. Mornings became detective work on her own life. A memoir of unblinking honesty and poignant, laugh-out-loud humor, Blackout is the story of a woman stumbling into a new kind of adventure - the sober life she never wanted.

Women around the globe are buying and consuming alcohol at alarming rates never seen before. But is it doing us any favors? Is it really that treat or reward that we deserve? Lotta Dann thinks not. In The Wine O'Clock Myth, Lotta takes an in-depth and eye-opening look at women's drinking habits. Written through the lens of her own story and her work in the field of addiction and recovery, Lotta explores the privileged position alcohol holds in our society, the way the liquor industry targets women and the damaging "Wine Mom" social media culture.

She knew the change wouldn't be easy, but she never expected to find herself an overweight, depressed, middle-aged mother of three who was drinking more than a bottle of wine a day and spending her evenings Googling 'am I an alcoholic?'

In a culture where sipping "rosé all day" is seen as the epitome of relaxation, "grabbing a drink" the only way to network; and meeting at a bar the quintessential "first date", many of us are left wondering if drinking alcohol really is the only way to cultivate joy and connection in life. Jardine Libaire and Amanda Eyre Ward wanted to live spontaneous and luxurious lives, to escape the ordinary and enjoy the intoxicating. Their drinking, however, had started to numb them to the present moment instead of unlocking it.

When Kristi stopped drinking, she started noticing things. Like when you give up a debilitating habit, it leaves a space, one that can’t easily be filled by mocktails or ice cream or sex or crafting. And when you cancel Rosé Season for yourself, you’re left with just summer, and that’s when you notice that the women around you are tanked - that alcohol is the oil in the motors that keeps them purring when they could be making other kinds of noise. In her sharp, incisive debut essay collection, Coulter reveals a portrait of a life in transition.

Fifteen million Americans a year are plagued with alcoholism. Five million of them are women. Many of them, like Caroline Knapp, started in their early teens and began to use alcohol as "liquid armor", a way to protect themselves against the difficult realities of life. In this extraordinarily candid and revealing memoir, Knapp offers important insights not only about alcoholism, but about life itself and how we learn to cope with it.

Punctuated by potent, laugh-out-loud sarcasm, Bottled offers practical suggestions on how to be a sober, present-in-the-moment mom, one day at a time, and provides much needed levity on an issue too often treated with deadly seriousness.

As she grew up, she figured out how to make the picture look even better - with a successful husband, five beautiful children, and all the required accompanying accoutrements. Then along came social media, where those pictures of the perfect life grew her a following of women who believed that everything about Emily was #blessed #inspo. But behind the filtered façade was a reality filled with trauma, addiction, and dysfunctional behavior.

When Kerry Cohen reached her early 40s, she realized she had a drinking problem - just enough to blur the edges of her life that had become a monotony of working, carpooling the kids to school, and everyday distractions. What she also realized was that she wasn't the only one. Lush is a gripping memoir that examines Kerry's struggles with alcohol, a struggle that a rising number of middle-aged women are facing. Wonderfully poignant and relatable, Lush follows Kerry as she attempts to rediscover the awe in her life, leaving mistakes, regrets, and the bottle behind her.

With the feminist revolution, women have closed the gender gap in their professional and educational lives. They have also achieved equality with men in more troubling areas as well.

Much needed woman's recovery story
- By Cellowoman on 03-21-17
Publisher's Summary
When Rebecca Weller’s pounding, dehydrated head woke her at 3:00 am, yet again, she stared at the ceiling, wondering why the hell she kept doing this to herself.
At 39 years of age - and a health coach, no less - she knew better than to down several bottles of wine per week. Her increasingly dysfunctional relationship with alcohol had to stop, but after decades of social drinking, she was terrified of what that might mean.
How could she live a joyful existence, without alcohol? How would she relax, socialize, or celebrate - without wine?
In sheer frustration, on a morning filled with regret and tears, she embarks on a three-month sobriety experiment that becomes a quest for self-discovery, and ultimately, transforms her entire world.
A Happier Hour is a heartfelt, moving, and inspiring story for anyone who has ever had to give up something they loved in order to get what they truly wanted.

Good story, less than relatable
I find a good story to be one where at least some aspect of the story resonates with me - I found this partly as she recounted the struggles and consequences she dealt with leading to her decision to quit drinking, but found a lot of the dialogue to be hokey and cringey. Although I’m happy everything seemed to work out well for her as soon as she quit drinking, her epiphanies and perfect plans for how she found almost immediate success and returns in her business within a year of quitting her job seemed unrealistic. This may be an uplifting read for someone who doesn’t find a good wholesome story full of sparkles, warm hugs and smiles to be nauseating and over-the-top. I was glad it wasn’t a long read.

Fabulous Times Yet Honest
Oh Rebecca has a way of writing funny self portrayals with just enough reveal how quickly one can begin drinking again. She writes with a voice of a positive best friend. I find such comforting.
The author acknowledges how prevalent alcohol is intertwined within society and celebratory events. She also offers very practical workarounds. I wish she would do speaking engagements in the USA. I would be thrilled to meet this truly talented author in person.

Painful to listen to
It's SOOOOOO fantastic (insert sarcasm here) that she hasn't relapsed and could so easily talk herself out of a drink. It was so sickeningly sweet it was like sugar, but without the rush. And the narrator's voice I didn't like. I'm happy for her sobriety, and wish her success in her life, but I don't recommend this book. Further, at $70/subscriber to her website, she's doing just fine?

Well told story...Excellent listen!
I literally devoured this book. The story is very well told and definitely causes the reader to consider their own story. I am so glad I purchased the Audible version of the book because it was a delight to listen to the author narrate; her voice (absolutely love her accent) is so soothing and genuine. A Happier Hour was even more meaningful after reading the author's second book, Up All Day.

Wonderful narration that shows the author's passion through her enthusiastic reading! A must read if you are considering sobriety for health or addiction. I love drinking, but I may need to dig deeper into why it's so important to me and this book made me think about that more than ever. Also inspiring for entrepreneurs and health coaches even if alcohol is not the main subject!

You found this book for a reason and when the universe hands you a card..... follow it through.
If you too have found yourself wanting to say goodbye to the misery of the wine bitch and are fortunate enough to be wanting to implement a change, l recommend taking a walk and give this book a listen, perhaps for the comfort in knowing you are not the only one dealing with the bitch.
Good luck to you in gaining momentum, remember the drive and the conniving deceitful intelligence your addiction needs to get that next drink? Redirect that drive and channel it to your recovery, it's hard and it will suck, but you deserve more than the wine bitch throws your way.
I'm 42 and 5 months sober. Listening to this was like reading pages out of my own book of life. It's so refreshing to wake up next to my significant other fresh as a daisy in clean fresh sheets, knowing what I did, what I said, where I am, where my bag is, where my phone is, not creating drama, and... having NO REGRETS.
Addiction comes in so many forms and can manifest from many difficult scenarios. Please know that you are an intelligent person. Whilst we cannot change experiences of our past or the reminders of weakness that may sneak up on us, we deserve to wake up peaceful, content and grateful to the prospect of positive new sober experiences.
When you know, you know.

Inspired to try AGAIN!
Incredible narration, a story written about me... except it's time to rewrite my ending to match this book.
Thank you for being honest, raw and brave x
