Description
For Sarah Hepola, alcohol was a source of freedom, but it came at a cost. She often blacked out, waking up with a blank space where four hours should be. As she struggled to piece together her life, she began to realize that the fuel she thought she needed was draining her spirit instead.
With unflinching honesty and poignant humor, Hepola recounts her journey into addiction and recovery. She shares her story of stumbling into a new adventure - the sober life she never wanted - and discovers the person she buried, as well as the confidence, intimacy, and creativity she once believed came only from a bottle.
This raw and vivid memoir is a powerful exploration of addiction and recovery, one that will resonate with anyone who has been forced to reinvent themselves or struggled in the face of necessary change. It's a story of giving up the thing you cherish most, but getting yourself back in return.
