Bottled – A Mom’s Guide to Early Recovery

Author: Dana Bowman

Humorist Dana Bowman chronicles her struggle with alcoholism and her subsequent recovery through the prism of early motherhood, offering empathy, comic relief, and encouragement for moms everywhere.

An unflinching and hilarious memoir about recovery as a mother of young kids, Bottled explains the perils moms face with drinking and chronicles the author’s path to recovery, from hitting bottom to the months of early sobriety ”A blur of pain and chaos” to her now (in)frequent moments of peace.

Punctuated by potent, laugh-out-loud sarcasm, Bottled offers practical suggestions on how to be a sober, present-in-the-moment mom, one day at a time, and provides much-needed levity on an issue too often treated with deadly seriousness.
