In the tradition of Orange Is the New Black and Jerry Stahl's Permanent Midnight, Amy Dresner's My Fair Junkie is an insightful, darkly funny, and shamelessly honest memoir of one woman's battle with all forms of addiction, hitting rock bottom, and forging a path to a life worth living.

Story
Everyone knows everyone in the tiny town of Bourne, but the Mitchell triplets are especially beloved. Mirabel is the smartest person anyone knows, and no one doubts it just because she can’t speak. Monday is the town’s purveyor of books now that the library’s closed - tell her the book you think you want, and she’ll pull the one you actually do from the microwave or her sock drawer. Mab’s job is hardest of all: get good grades, get into college, get out of Bourne.

Wonderful

The narrators did a wonderful job of capturing the personalities of each unique character, especially the triplets. I like that each chapter is from different character's perspective. Highly recommend this book!

Story
The single glass of wine with dinner... the cold beer on a hot day... the champagne flute raised in a toast... what I'd drink if Hunter S. Thompson wanted to get wasted with me... these are my fantasies lately. Too bad I've gone sober. When Sacha Z. Scoblic was drinking, she was a rock star; the days were rough and the nights filled with laughter and blackouts. Then she gave it up. She had to. Here are her adventures in an utterly and maddeningly sober world... and how she discovered that nothing is as odd and fantastic as life without a drink in hand.

Story
Like many women, Clare Pooley found the juggle of a stressful career and family life a struggle, so she left her successful role as a managing partner in one of the world's biggest advertising agencies to look after her family. She knew the change wouldn't be easy, but she never expected to find herself an overweight, depressed, middle-aged mother of three who was drinking more than a bottle of wine a day and spending her evenings Googling 'am I an alcoholic?'

So happy Clare Pooley decided to share her story. It has good information about the physical and mental consequences of alcohol. It is an easy read.

This book is for people who have struggled with addiction AND people who have loved ones who have struggled or are struggling with addiction, especially opioid addictions, this book is eye opening. And for those struggling with any kind of addiction, you can relate. Tiffany's story is an example that you can overcome by putting one foot in front of the other, in good times, bad times, bumpy times. Thank You Tiffany for sharing your story and continuing to help the pregnant girls in rehab to see or at least begin to reach for the light. You are a light and an inspiration!!!

Excellent for beginner
Reviewed: 12-06-15
This unit talked about how the program actually allows us to learn a language easily with this method. Then it teaches a lesson with some conversation and repeating of words to be able to understand and speak it by the end. Love it!
