DARK, HONEST, UPLIFTING. THIS IS A SOBRIETY MEMOIR LIKE NO OTHER.
> 'This is a book that tears down walls.' Marian Keyes 'Bryony
Gordon is a terrific, compassionate writer whose razor-sharp
honesty slices through every sentence of this compelling memoir.'
Liz Day 'Poetic, raw and very important.' Fearne Cotton Bryony
Gordon is a respected journalist, a number-one bestselling author
and an award-winning mental health campaigner. She is also an
alcoholic. In Glorious Rock Bottom Bryony opens up about a toxic
twenty-year relationship with alcohol and drugs and explains
exactly why hitting rock bottom - for her, a traumatic event and
the abrupt realisation that she was putting herself in danger, time
and again - saved her life. Known for her trademark honesty, Bryony
re-lives the darkest and most terrifying moments of her addiction,
never shying away from the fact that alcoholism robs you of your
ability to focus on your family, your work, your health, your
children, yourself. And then, a chink of light as the hard work
begins - rehab; twelve-step meetings; endless, tedious, painful
self-reflection - a rollercoaster ride through self-acceptance,
friendship, love and hope, to a joy and pride in staying sober that
her younger self could never have imagined. Shining a light on the
deep connection between addiction and mental health issues,
Glorious Rock Bottom is in turn, shocking, brutal, dark, funny,
hopeful and uplifting. It is a sobriety memoir like no other.
