Publisher Description
The must-listen, hilarious memoir that tells you how to stop drinking and start living
Answers 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?
With a successful career and family life, 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.

Witness to the witch
Thank you for your insights. I’m the other half & have been at a loss in the understanding of my partners behaviour for years. You’ve opened my eyes to the struggle in ways she still shuts off from me. All the best for you and yours.
The Cath Kidson of the book work.
This is the most cliche book ever. It is only relatable to a small white English class of women. Even the women in Wandsworth are more interesting than this woman. It is patronising and so predictable. Yuck - the wonderful supportive husband and the perfect but cheeky in the most adorable way children. I am sure you will run into the author on her summer sober hols with her besties in Cornwall.
Excellent audio book
Refreshing to hear someone tell the truth, make you think and make it enjoyable at the same time!
