À propos de cet audio
“We Are the Luckiest is a masterpiece. It’s the truest, most generous, honest, and helpful sobriety memoir I’ve read. It’s going to save lives.” (Glennon Doyle, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Love Warrior: A Memoir)
What could possibly be “lucky” about addiction? Absolutely nothing, thought Laura McKowen when drinking brought her to her knees. As she puts it, she “kicked and screamed . . . wishing for something - anything - else” to be her issue. The people who got to drink normally, she thought, were so damn lucky.
But in the midst of early sobriety, when no longer able to anesthetize her pain and anxiety, she realized that she was actually the lucky one. Lucky to feel her feelings, live honestly, really be with her daughter, change her legacy. She recognized that “those of us who answer the invitation to wake up, whatever our invitation, are really the luckiest of all.”
Here, in straight-talking chapters filled with personal stories, McKowen addresses issues such as facing facts, the question of AA, and other people’s drinking. Without sugarcoating the struggles of sobriety, she relentlessly emphasizes the many blessings of an honest life, one without secrets and debilitating shame.

In Push Off from Here, McKowen delves deeply into each of her nine points: what they mean, how they work, and how every person can live them. She addresses topics such as the correlation between trauma and addiction, the importance of radical honesty, letting go of the illusion of control, the value of community, a reminder that healing is a continual process, and that the process is a gift. Whether you’re just starting out or have been sober for decades, McKowen instructs us to be kind to ourselves: Change is messy and progress is rarely linear, but we can always push off from here.

It’s the nagging question more and more of us are finding harder to ignore, whether we have a “problem” with alcohol or not. In the face of how we care for ourselves otherwise, it’s hard to avoid how alcohol really makes us feel: terrible. How different would our lives be if we stopped drinking on autopilot? If we stopped drinking altogether? Frank, funny, and always judgment-free, Sober Curious is a bold guide to choosing to live hangover-free, from Ruby Warrington, one of the leading voices of the new sobriety movement.

A memoir of unblinking honesty and poignant, laugh-out-loud humor, Blackout is the story of a woman stumbling into a new kind of adventure - the sober life she never wanted. For Sarah Hepola, alcohol was "the gasoline of all adventure". She spent her evenings at cocktail parties and dark bars where she proudly stayed till last call. But there was a price. Publicly, she covered her shame with self-deprecating jokes, and her career flourished, but as the blackouts accumulated, she could no longer avoid a sinking truth.

We all long to be free of our discomfort and experience inner peace. However, the attempt to get rid of our discomfort is misguided. We're not broken and don't need to be "healed". Our difficulty is that our deeply suppressed emotional imprints from childhood distract us from an awareness of the present moment. Until this emotional charge from our past is integrated, our attempts to quiet our thoughts and access the peace, joy, and love that are bedrock to our being are of only limited success.

Great Listen...Thought Provoking!
This was an overall great listen! For me, when a personal story is told, I like hearing it from the writer - Laura was spot on with her narration - fantastic job! What a journey to self-discovery! I think we all could take tidbits of information from this book and apply it to our own lives - not just in an addiction sense, but taking the time to discover who WE really are and what it is that WE want in life. Kudos to Laura!

It’s a good story
I could definitely relate but I found sobriety in a different way. I thought this book would be more like that and I wish Laura would have found it that way also because it sounds like she struggled quite a bit and there are easier ways such as Annie Graces method which helped me a lot! Great story though and I love her honesty.

I’m 12 days sober
I started this book on New Years Day, and it has been a great companion through my first 12 days of sobriety. I’d HIGHLY recommend this to anyone contemplating a sober lifestyle. (Not just for fall-down-drunks. 😉)

I believe I will go back to this book again and again.

Decent book
Author does a nice job of telling the story of her struggle, with some interesting insights along her journey. Pace is very slow - recommended listening speed at 1.2x or more.

A masterpiece.
Simply beautiful. Heart breakingly relatable. Laura has a way of stringing together seemingly average words into a beautifully haunting magic that quite literally took my breath away. I will be quoting her book for the rest of my life. I felt eerily lost yet so full when I finished it. I cried hard throughout. Please do yourself a favor and READ THIS PIECE OF PERFECTION.
