Reductive to old school, established AA alligator meetings. Some of us can’t abide 12 steps and this book offers little more than historical context for women’s drinking but had only empty 12 step nonsense to really offer outside the scope of personal failings the author confessed, the interesting part. The statistics and all weren’t a turn off as the push couched as confession but I felt the writer’s recovery to not have been discussed as an independent part of the whole, but cherrypicked for the most compelling moments. It was okay, but didn’t offer anything new to the category of reading.

I am new to recovery and this book is so helpful in my journey.

Disconnected and full of statistics. Can’t stay awake or interested! don’t waste your money!
