Author: Sarah Hepola
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Summary: Sarah's a blackout drinker. What's a blackout? A blackout is essentially an empty space in your mind where you don't remember what happened. Blacking out is not the same as passing out. Sarah would wake up in a strange bed (or her own bed) and have no idea how she got there. Sometimes there'd be a man in the bed with her and she'd have no idea who the guy was. Sarah decided she needed to get alcohol out of her life and come to terms with who she was without alcohol.
Review: I've always been a sucker for addiction stories. I watched Intervention for years and recently got sucked back into it. I have a fascination with understanding what led people to go down the path of addiction (or get dragged) and what motivates them to get better. This book was right up my alley. Sarah's accounts of her alcoholism and blackouts is raw and honest. It takes a lot of courage to share that she doesn't remember things. Highly recommended.
