Story4.5 out of 5 stars 26
This Side of Alcohol is borne out of the cathartic journaling I did during the first two years following my break-up with alcohol. It tells the story of what I did to get and stay sober, allowing me to transform my shame, guilt, and anger into self-compassion, self-discovery, and forgiveness—of myself and others. From self-loathing isolation to a joyous community of support and rediscovered intimacy with my family.

The first story Selma Blair Beitner ever heard about herself is that she was a mean, mean baby. With her mouth pulled in a perpetual snarl and a head so furry it had to be rubbed to make way for her forehead, Selma spent years living up to her terrible reputation: biting her sisters, lying spontaneously, getting drunk from Passover wine at the age of seven, and behaving dramatically so that she would be the center of attention. In a memoir that is as wildly funny as it is emotionally shattering, Blair tells the captivating story of growing up and finding her truth.

In his signature style of stand-up comedy bits, Jeff Allen shares the inspirational and at times laugh-out-loud story of how God rescued him from alcoholism and despair through the book of Ecclesiastes. At times, his story is tragic and even tear-jerking—but in the end, it demonstrates that God takes a customized approach to reaching each of His children. Known as “the King of Clean Comedy,” Allen’s memoir won’t disappoint.

Publisher's summary
"The Next Quiet Voice is a brutally honest memoir of heartbreak and despair, coupled with glowing redemption and a rising from-the-ashes feel that has you cheering for the writer at every turn. I couldn't put the book down." (Todd Zalkins, author and award-winning filmmaker)
On her journey to near stardom in the music business, Monica Madrid wound up a broke, demoralized alcoholic. Through the twists and turns of a colorful life, she rubbed elbows with Prince, Rick James, and other artists and was in a musical battle with Tupac Shakur. She came close to fulfilling her childhood dream, but once it was stripped from her grasp, her path led to money, prestige - and broken relationships. Monica's story is one of loss, love, and redemption. Her quest for fame and fortune would turn into a passion for recovery, in which she would discover something she never wanted - spiritual freedom.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 183
For comedian and content creator Manon Mathews, comedy is life. But it took more than luck for her hilarious antics on Vine to open the door to her career. It took years of routinely embarrassing herself, improv classes, some stints as an amateur stand-up comic, unrelenting dedication, and one life-altering night out that forced her to change her ways. This set her on the path to manifesting her dream life.

The New York Times best-selling biography of an American comedy legend. After three years of sobriety, Chris Farley's life was at its creative peak until a string of professional disappointments chased him back to drugs and alcohol. He fought hard against them, but it was a fight he would lose in December 1997. Farley's fans immediately drew parallels between his death and that of his idol, John Belushi. Without looking deeper, however, many failed to see that Farley was much more than just another Hollywood drug overdose. In this officially authorized oral history, Farley's friends and family remember his work and life.

AMAZING JOURNEY
This book is an amazing story of addiction, loss, recovery, finding inner peace, love, bravery, strength, and coming out on top! Monica has lived such an amazing life and all should share in the experience. I love that it is part podcast, if you will, and there are other surprises too. Definitely worth a listen! 💜💜 --Laurel B

Wow, finding it difficult to find the right words!
I've known Monica for a couple of years now and read her book last year when it came out. at the time I felt I knew her a whole lot more. But after listening to her tell her story Im blown away. Her spoken words, poems and songs add a dimension to knowing Monica that I can't describe.
I binged the recording in a day, glad I did.
I'm so glad our paths have crossed on this journey in life, and honored she calls me a friend.
