Quitter by Erica C Barnett
Erica C. Barnett had her first sip of alcohol when she was thirteen, and quickly developed a taste for drinking to oblivion with her friends. In her late twenties, her addiction became inescapable. By the time she was in her late thirties, she had run the gauntlet of alcoholism. With brave and vulnerable writing, Barnett expands on her own story to confront the dire state of addiction today, the rise of alcoholism in women, and the lack of rehabilitation options available. Quitter is essential reading for our age and an ultimately hopeful story of Barnett's own hard-fought path to sobriety.
