Summary
Mrs. D is an alcoholic, albeit a very nice, respectable, articulate, and groomed alcoholic.
This is an honest, upfront, relatable account of one suburban housewife's journey from miserable wine-soaked boozer to self-respecting sober lady.
This audiobook is an inspirational tale of self-transformation, addiction, and domesticity. This audiobook lays out the entirely unexpected solo journey Mrs. D took in the first year of her sobriety and reveals the incredible online support that came through on her confessional blog, a blog intended to be a private online diary but turned into something else quite remarkable.

I enjoyed this book
I enjoyed this book. Although is wasn’t very “deep”, it tackled the actual real reasons behind any addiction, not just drinking. It might seem obvious to say that addictions are just ways of avoiding / dealing with difficult emotions, but it’s the truth! Regardless of how you spin it! So well done to the author for being likeable and truthful.

fabulous
Down to earth story of a woman's struggle to battle alcohol addiction. A story that anyone who drinks at all can relate too.

Entertaining and relatable
Excellent read and definitely something many could relate to and would encourage people to quit drinking alcohol if it was out of control.

Mrs D is going without
As someone in the process of giving up drinking, this was one of the books I chose to read in my quest to ‘go it alone’ I’m so glad I did! It’s funny, informative and very real.
I loved it.

A Good Read
An enjoyable read that offers a relatively novel tale on alcohol misuse. It recognised that most alcohol misuse is not lying in the gutter penniless but instead is not living life to its full.
I’ve dropped one star as there is a total lack of recognition of addiction theory, alcohol use disorder, and science. That in itself is absolutely fine, Mrs D found what worked for her. But a pointer to any newly sober people as to where to find that information wouldn’t go amiss.

Finally a book I can relate to!
I have desperately been trying to stop drinking and have searched Audible for a good book to listen to paying for many with my monthly credit - only to be disappointed. After deciding not to buy another and search for something included in my plan I downloaded this book and have not stoped listening. Lottas love for wine and internal mental battle with herself and alcohol is so familiar, finally a book I can relate to that is giving me hope that if such a lush as Lotta can get rid of the poison then so can this lush 💗
