Sobrietease by Martha Carucci

Almost everyone knows someone who is affected in some way by addiction. You may see a bum on the street with a brown paper bag and assume that he is an alcoholic. But how about the mom sitting next to you at the PTA meeting or in the stands at her child's soccer game? She may be just as miserable, if not more so.

We all have our struggles and crosses to bear, whether it is depression, anxiety, addiction (of any kind--alcohol, food, drugs, gambling, etc), an abusive relationship, an unhappy marriage--but it's never too late to turn things around. By owning our story, we have the chance to write the ending. Working on owning my story is one of the best things I have ever done for myself.

This book is a humorous and heartfelt story about a suburban mom's journey through recovery and sobriety into a better life. Read it and weep and hopefully laugh.
