Mommy Doesn’t Drink Here Anymore: Getting Through the First Year of Sobriety
Author: Rachael Brownell
Overview
Part recovery memoir, part self-help guide, and all raw honesty, Mommy Doesn’t Drink Here Anymore chronicles one mother’s first year of sobriety. Rachael Brownell—once a “cocktail mama” juggling twins and a newborn—shares how drinking became her lifeline and, eventually, her downfall. When alcohol began consuming her life and marriage, she realized she needed help.
With grit and candor, Brownell recounts the painful unraveling of her dependence, the struggle of early sobriety, and the hope she found in recovery. Both heart-wrenching and inspiring, her story offers encouragement for anyone navigating the difficult but transformative first year without alcohol.
This book reveals:
- The good, the bad, and the ugly of getting clean as a parent
- The reality of mommy “cocktail culture” and how it fuels addiction
- Inspiration and hope for surviving the early stages of recovery
Praise
“Brownell has an easy, readable style and a simple message. There is no glowing happy ending, just the reality that life must be faced one day at a time. This work will appeal to readers who like memoirs about ordinary people overcoming difficult life problems; individuals who find 12-step and recovery literature helpful will also be interested in this personal journey.” — Library Journal
"Mommy Doesn't Drink Here Anymore is an excellent read. I was absolutely entranced by Brownell's journey, her wit, her honesty, her special connection to Ted (her recovery soul mate), and the many women who helped her stay sober. Her story touched me deeply, not just because I am a woman in recovery, but because a story of hope resonates. This book deserves a wide audience." — Karen Casey, PhD, author of Each Day a New Beginning
“Mommy Doesn’t Drink Here Anymore gives the reader insight not only into the effects of addiction on the entire family, but solutions for those in the grips of family trauma. Rachael's journey, well written with wit, humor, and brutal honesty, is a must read.” — Barb Rogers, author of Twenty-Five Words and Keep It Simple and Sane
“Brownell's evocative and poignant memoir is the story of every woman, a redemptive coming-of-age memoir as challenging as it is healing; a support group in prose. Whether you are struggling to reconcile your addiction or looking for guidance as a mother, woman, human being, Brownell's journey of self-awareness and self-discovery is sure to motivate and inspire. A triumph of a memoir for all women enduring.” — Rebecca Woolf, author of Rockabye: From Wild to Child
