Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget | Sarah Hepola

#AyUpAugust Did someone say #HappyHour ?!!??! Sara Hepola lived for those words, going through life fueled by her “gasoline of adventure” - alcohol. She would drink to excess, and then TRY to piece it all together the following day. After too many years of empty memories and nearly killing her self in the process, Sara finally decides to put down the glass and live a life of sobriety. An honest memoir of addiction & the price of family history.

Happy Hours: Alcohol in a Woman's Life | Devon Jersild

#HappyHour #AyUpAugust
Dunno why but I've never been able to get me head around Hull being part of Yorkshire.
@squirrelbrain @Cinfhen

LeeRHarry Possibly the whole Humberside thing? 😏 2d

arlenefinnigan @LeeRHarry well.....aye. 2d

LeeRHarry @arlenefinnigan 😂 2d

Cinfhen Obviously I have NO IDEA, (once again) what you‘re talking about 😉 2d

TrishB It‘s always been a bit weird! 2d

squirrelbrain Yes, I wasn‘t sure about including Hull @LeeRHarry @TrishB @arlenefinnigan but it is definitely classed as Yorkshire so I just went with it... 2d

arlenefinnigan @squirrelbrain is Humberside like Merseyside and Greater Manchester in that it's an administrative county but not a 'real' county? 2d

LeeRHarry Not a real one but a fake one for about 20 years - I was born in Grimsby, in Lincs when I was born, then Humberside and back to Lincs 😊 @squirrelbrain (edited) 2d

arlenefinnigan @LeeRHarry yeah it doesn't help that my geography is terrible and I confuse Grimsby and Hull.... 2d

Recovery: Freedom from Our Addictions | Russell Brand

pick

I did not think I‘d have so much in common with Russell Brand. Due to his accent, I preferred listening to him read his own book to me more than reading my hard copy. He did go off on quite a few tangents that made absolutely no sense to me but he would eventually come back around to recovery. Enjoyable, practical, and helpful.

Go Ask Alice | Anonymous

When I was in elementary school, I plucked this little book from the depths of a forgotten shelf in the back of my library. Seeing that the author was “Anonymous,” I promptly felt very confused, dropped the book, and ran away. If you know the history of Go Ask Alice, though, you know there‘s a plot twist. It‘s actually NOT the real diary of an anonymous teen drug addict. We discuss further on the latest ep of my podcast. 🎧 Link to listen in bio!

A Million Little Pieces | James Frey

I‘ve not read the book but know the summary of it, interesting. Despite the controversy of this ‘memoir‘, the book has been adapted into a movie. Read about it and see the trailer here: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/08/a-million-little-pieces-trailer-pos...

Amor4Libros I didn‘t know this was being made into a movie, looks good! I remember when Oprah praised this book so much that a friend and I read it and were blown away. I read it again a few years ago, it‘s that good. I‘ll definetely watch the movie 1w

BoleyBooks This was the only book I ever returned to the store. I could not get into the stream of consciousness format. 1w

Eggs I‘ve always wondered about this one...I vaguely remember the controversy. Nice choice! 1w

marleed I read this book just prior to the interview and was deeply impacted. Then the interview, then the controversy. It‘s seems so odd now that I was so saddened by the aftermath . It has changed how I read memoirs. In his defense, when he wrote the book he didn‘t set out to call it a memoir nor could he anticipate it would get that attention. Even still, I read differently. 1w

DivineDiana @marleed I too read it before the controversy. Unsettling. 🙁 1w

marleed @DivineDiana I took the controversy so personally which seems so silly now. Upon reflection, much much later, I feel sorry for the author because he was caught up in a publishing world he was no way prepared for. Actually, the aftermath might make a great movie! 1w
