5.0
Wow… this book hit me hard. I’m a recovering alcoholic, currently 7 months sober. I was not prepared for how much I would see myself in this book. It’s funny because even now I still find ways my brain is in denial. It shocked me at first just how much I related to the thoughts and emotions Bryony talks about… and I had to take a step back and say to myself ‘well of course you do, you’re an alcoholic too.’ I found a lot of comfort in this book. Not just in her recovery, but also in her illness. I found comfort in the good and bad. Knowing these thoughts and emotions and behaviours and cravings and outbursts I get are things other addicts experience too. I’m not alone. This book was hard to read at times being so close to home, and I had to take a few breaks, but it is such a powerful and much needed book!! I highly recommend reading it.
