Author: Laura McKowen
What could possibly be “lucky” about addiction? Absolutely nothing, thought Laura McKowen when alcohol brought her to her knees. But in early sobriety, without the numbing buffer of drinking, she discovered something unexpected: she was lucky. Lucky to feel her feelings, to live honestly, to be fully present with her daughter, and to change her legacy.
In We Are the Luckiest, McKowen tells her story with raw honesty, weaving together personal narrative, unflinching truths, and practical reflections. She explores topics such as facing reality, the role of AA, and navigating other people’s drinking, all while emphasizing the surprising blessings of a sober life free from secrets and shame. This is not a sugarcoated memoir—it’s a candid exploration of both the struggle and the profound beauty of living awake.
