About this listen

Dying for a Drink is a true story of the chaos and hurt caused by an alcoholic. The author, telling her own story, writes of time spent in multiple rehabs, both in the United Kingdom and Sydney, Australia. She writes in the hope that her story will encourage other alcoholics and addicts (which can be anybody addicted to anything) - that they will see in their own stories the similarities rather than the differences.

The memoir depicts her rapid decline after she crossed the ‘invisible line’ and shows how her loved ones were devastated by her behaviour - and how they lived in fear that this disease would lead to her death. It chronicles, too, her sense of freedom and surrender and hope amid the sobriety from which she is sharing her journey and the beginnings of relationships repaired, with both loved ones and self.

I couldn't switch it off. Very honest account and well narrated. I hope this reaches the best seller list and she gets her dream. Highly recommended.

Amazing, wonderful. I listened to it twice back to back. A brave honest account of alcoholism, Taking the truth out of the shadows for all to hear. This book will help anyone with experience of alcoholism or their family or friends. God bless the author, I hope you get to open your rehabilitation centre. Thank you x

I would have liked the author to have recorded to audiobook.

The book itself is ok, although there is a lot of repetition and over use of phrases but it's the narration that completely ruins it, absolutely awful.
