Description

Erica C. Barnett's memoir is a stark and unflinching account of her struggles with alcoholism and recovery.

Barnett's story begins with a first sip at 13, which quickly became a habit that defined her life in her late twenties. Her addiction was marked by volatile relationships, blackouts, and failed attempts at rehab, as she hid bottles throughout her apartment and offices.

With remarkable bravery and vulnerability, Barnett expands on her personal story to confront the dire state of addiction in America, the rise of alcoholism in American women, and the lack of rehabilitation options available to addicts. Her frank and self-aware account offers essential new insights into addiction and treatment.
