A Drinking Life

#ConflictedWorlds Some of my favorite books are personal tales of #Addiction The stories can be heartbreaking & sometimes humorous, looking back on them , if you made it through. I am sure everyone knows someone who has struggled. I always hope they succeeded & lived to tell the tale.

A Drinking Life: A Memoir | Pete Hamill

I‘ve had this memoir on my tbr ever since @LauraBeth drew my attention to it and have since purchased from #bookoutlet 😄... I‘m intrigued to read Hamill‘s perspective on the effects (mostly negative it seems) that alcohol has had on his life and caused him to become sober. However, I don‘t expect that it will influence me to stop drinking... 🍷🍹🍸🥂🥃🍺🤷🏻‍♀️

JoScho In the south we call it a buggy 😃 6y

RebelReader @JoScho I thought maybe it was a European term. Glad you could set me straight. 😀 I kinda like buggy. I might use it here in Minnesota once in awhile just for fun! 6y

When I think I've had it bad for putting up with the husband for three days of no work - he shows me what it's like putting up with me 😂 Turns out he needed his own release valve

Hollie I'm glad you've both survived the last 3 days! 🍻 (edited) 7y

I read this over 20 years ago and it still sticks with me. If you love NYC, memoirs from "actual" writers and journalism - read it!

"Then one New Year's Eve 20 years ago he noticed all the drunkenness and had his last vodka..."

Also GREAT: Tender at the Bar ❤️

MicheleinPhilly I love Pete Hamill so much. 7y

LauraBeth @MicheleinPhilly I was sitting here trying to remember what I haven't read by him. I haven't gotten to

Forever: A Novel

MicheleinPhilly OMG. Forever is ❤️. I have North River but haven't read it. I just like to stare at it and stroke it. 7y

LauraBeth @micheleinphilly I just looked up Forever on Litsy and saw your shelf and now I realize I need to read Moehringer's Sutton 😂Also - I nominate us as Presidents of the Pete Hammill fan club on Litsy (edited) 7y

Cinfhen If you two are the Presidents of the Pete Hammill fan club, it's time for me to finally read his work @MicheleinPhilly @LauraBeth 🤓 7y

MicheleinPhilly @LauraBeth @Cinfhen I'm cool with this plan. I would be a very effective President. 7y

LauraBeth Whew @MicheleinPhilly because my presidency would look like my unattended emails... @Cinfhen you would adore Hammill. (edited) 7y

So I saw the tag #drinksoncovers and thought I'd see what I've read. I went thru nearly 2 years of Goodreads covers and found these. The first is obvious. The second is a stretch. Grapes....wine...in a glass 🍷😂😂
@RealLifeReading

monkeygirlsmama That's what I did. It was harder than I expected, haha. 7y
