Summary

An unflinching and hilarious memoir about recovery as a mother of young kids, Bottled explains the perils moms face with drinking and chronicles the author's path to recovery, from hitting bottom to the months of early sobriety - a blur of pain and chaos - to her now (in)frequent moments of peace.

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.

A serious message, humorously told

Engaging and funny, with no preaching or self-righteousness. Dana’s story is inspirational, whether or not you have a problem with addiction. There is good advice for everyone here.

One of my absolute favourites!

I really enjoyed this book.
It is both amusing but also digs deep into the problems surrounding alcohol abuse.
I love the narration - it made me smile a lot.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone concerned about their drinking.
