Fifteen million Americans a year are plagued with alcoholism. Five million of them are women. Many of them, like Caroline Knapp, started in their early teens and began to use alcohol as "liquid armor", a way to protect themselves against the difficult realities of life. In this extraordinarily candid and revealing memoir, Knapp offers important insights not only about alcoholism, but about life itself and how we learn to cope with it.

Featured Article: For Women Thinking About Stopping Drinking, ‘Quit Lit’ Can Help


Just as women have spent the past few decades being marketed wine and cocktails as uniquely suited to their lifestyle, many are now questioning narrow treatments for alcohol abuse and proposing another way. The growing genre of "Quit Lit" runneth over with audiobooks, memoirs, and podcasts specifically for women—and whether you’re detoxing for Dry January, moderating, or trying to quit for good, they could be exactly what you need to hear.

I'm not a drinker, but I've had alcoholics around me most of my life. This book gave me some insight into what is really going on inside them.

Highly recommend this book - drinker or not.

A beautifully written and narrated book that gets to the core of not only drinking but the universal need to escape emotional pain. I thoroughly enjoyed the breadth of the territory covered In the book, particularly self awareness and personal growth long buried by any addiction, whether it be drink, drugs or eating disorders.

Beautiful, thoughtful And touching memoir

This book was amazing! I enjoyed the truth that came from it. As someone who experienced divorced due to my ex husband’s addiction to alcohol it helped me understand things that was never verbally expressed to me. I think this book is a critical read to those who desire an understanding on alcohol addiction

Such a compelling book!

So powerful, I didn’t honk I would relate at first because she had such a good career and drank good wines in nice restaurants. Unlike me who when to bars and got drunk on cheap rum and ended up homeless.
But the feelings were the same and I soon came to see my own disease and recovery in her story.

I find memoirs of female alcoholics interesting, (For some reason the male alcoholic memoir seems to have been done to death). This however, is a really good one for getting a big picture of alcoholism over a long span. Knapp is billed as a high functioning alcoholic and we really see how at first things seem under control and then over time start to decay around her. I like how you can go from reading about alcohol in that infatuated way at first and then come to the end and see how really it is no fun at all. I feel like the author has missed something if their alcoholism memoir makes me feel like drinking. I also like that this isn't a book full of a long list of embarrassing episodes that make you cringe. There was more to her decision that she was an alcoholic than repeated embarrassing mistakes. Not to imply that she doesn't make many bad decisions, only that there is more to her than that. Often addiction memoirs fall flat when the author gets to the recovery period and begins making many general statements - in this case she talks a lot of women and the negative impact of sexuality and men. It annoyed me at first, but I had to realize that at that point she was generalizing from her discussions with other female alcoholics and not necessarily implying these things applied to the better adjusted non addicted members of society. I found it interesting also how at first she talks about a certain amount of denial because to her alcoholics have alcoholic family members and dysfunctional family situations and she's from an upper class family, but over time we discover with her that she is indeed part of a dysfunctional family with alcoholics after all. It made me sad to realize that she only lived a short time after writing this memoir. It was such a long road to gaining this control over her life and having finally done it she had so little time to enjoy it.
