Summary
Bryony Gordon is a respected journalist, a number one best-selling author and an award-winning mental health campaigner. She is also an alcoholic.
In Glorious Rock Bottom Bryony opens up about a toxic 20-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 relives 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; AA meetings; endless, tedious, painful self-reflection - a roller-coaster 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.

A book on sobriety for everyone
20 minutes in and I was in tears. This book is so honest and raw, I see so much of myself in this story. What an incredible take on the positives but also the struggle of ongoing sobriety and the challenges that come with it.
I am myself just over 6 months sober at the moment and battling the unexpected emotion that is stirring. I devoured this book in 24 hours and I’m so so glad I did. Thank you for making me feel so much more normal and comfortable in my own sobriety.

Loving it!
Not quite finished yet but thoroughly enjoying this book so far. Can barely stop listening and really feeling inspired to address my own issues with alcohol.
NB, now finished the book and would highly recommend it. I admire and appreciate the author's honesty so much and can only hope to be so brave and honest myself someday.

Struggling
I find the words of someone who has had a struggle easier to digest and can relate my struggles to Bryony tho not the same. knowing ur not the only screw up is quite a comfort!! Thanks for sharing with the world I’m trying to brave and share my struggles which is a start and I find u give me the motivation to keep going when all I want to do is hide away in my bed I hear your words if I don’t want to something I probably should ! Tho I may put it off for a couple hours ! Thank u xx

I'm so happy for you Bryony!
What an incredible read. I didn't put this book down. You are so brave in not only facing your demons but also honestly and eloquently writing about them. Always remember how lucky your daughter is to have such a badass as her role model.

If you only read one quit-lit book make it this one!
I don’t often leave reviews but felt compelled to after listening to this book. Bryony delivers a heartfelt and emotional performance narrating her own story of coming to terms with alcoholism. There were some truly relatable moments, along with laugh out loud hilarity. Some chapters reduced me to tears as Bryony’s complete honesty and candid storytelling revealed the depth of her addiction and her ultimate battle to overcome it. A great book, thank you Bryony for writing it!

A moving journey
Thank you Bryony for sharing your personal experience here, I felt the truth behind every word and I know this wouldn’t have been the same if someone else was narrating.
A brave account of mental health! I hugely recommend this if your called towards it!
