Another vote for Drinking: A Love Story.

I know you've been sharing some struggles in the past few days Lori- have you quit drinking? I am an AAer so I "recommend" the BB but strongly feel it's meant to be started with a sponsor and as part of working a program.

I am a big reader so among the books I read and enjoyed (and as someone said, I had to get sober for any of them to really help me- reading while drinking was just entertainment)

Living Sober - about the first year of sobriety (it is a Hazelden book so AA approved lit but not an official AA book)
Blackout - Sarah Hepola
Dry- Augusten Burrows
Between Breaths - Elizabeth Vargas (great on the connection btw alcoholism and anxiety)
Patrick Kennedy's books, esp the one that's a compilation of people's stories

There are lots of moms/drinking books if you look through Amazon, too, Lori.
