## Description

THE HILARIOUS MEMOIR THAT SHOWS YOU HOW TO STOP DRINKING AND START LIVING - BY THE AUTHOR OF THE AUTHENTICITY PROJECT 'The best 'quit-lit' on the market' - Reader review 'An excellent book. It will help a lot of people' - Lorraine Kelly With a highly successful career in advertising, Clare Pooley 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?' This is the bravely honest and hilariously funny story of a year in Clare's life. A year that started with her quitting booze and then being given the devastating diagnosis of breast cancer. By the end of the year she is booze and cancer-free, two-stone lighter and with a life that is richer and more rewarding than ever before. Interwoven with Clare's story is research and answers to questions such as: How do I know if I'm drinking too much? How will I cope at parties? What do I say to friends and family? How do I cope with cravings? What if my partner still drinks? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Clare's book has supported me on most mornings through my first 20 days of sobriety and I could not be more grateful.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ " Absolutely amazing book. I found myself relating to everything she says. It's so real, and down to earth, and honest. Definitely helped me to make some big changes I know I needed to. Thank you Clare!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐" Inspirational. Such an amazing read. Thoroughly enjoyed and could related to a lot of the journey Clare experienced. Thank you for being brave enough to share and help support others."
