How to Be Perfect Like Me
Author: Dana Bowman
Overview
Recovery isn’t just about quitting alcohol — it’s about facing the perfectionism, people-pleasing, and pressure to do it all that so many of us struggle with. In this funny, raw, and deeply relatable follow-up to Bottled, Dana Bowman takes readers through the chaos of striving for flawlessness while juggling life as a wife, mother, and woman in recovery.
When a brief relapse over the holidays brings her face-to-face with her own unrealistic expectations, Dana discovers that true recovery means letting go of perfection and embracing the messy, imperfect beauty of self-care and authenticity. How to Be Perfect Like Me is both a heartfelt memoir and a humorous reminder that healing is not about “having it all together” — it’s about learning to be perfectly imperfect.
Key Features
- A witty, honest look at perfectionism and recovery beyond alcohol.
- Insights on self-care, parenting, relationships, and the pressures of modern life.
- Relatable stories that balance humor with hope.
- A follow-up to Bottled, a Kansas Notable Book.
