Why read it?
1 author picked Mommy Doesn't Drink Here Anymore as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the first book I read by a mom admitting to alcoholism after I stopped drinking. It was recommended to me when I only had about 30 days sober under my belt, and I devoured it in one sitting.
I found it revelatory to hear someone say the things out loud that I was holding inside too embarrassed to share. Her writing style is conversational yet lovely, and made me feel like I wanted to find her and make her my bestie.
From Stefanie's list on addiction books that will make you feel less alone.
