Nogle gange i dit liv møder man et menneske, som har været igennem så mange ting i livet, at man aldrig nogensinde vil kunne forstå det. Og endnu mindre forståeligt er det, at samme person er kommet igennem alle disse forhindringer og ud på den anden side med overskuddet til at fortælle sin historie fuldstændig uden filter. Denne bog er netop en af disse fortællinger, som er mere ærlig og direkte, end man kan forestille sig. Man får med bogen i hånden nøglen til en dagbog skrevet af en kronisk syg borderliner, eksnarkoman og tidligere kriminel, som vil give især pårørende et indblik i en tankegang, som ellers kan være helt umulig at forstå. Samtidig får man et uvurderligt indblik i, hvordan psykiatrisk behandling fungerer i Danmark på godt og ondt – set med patientens egne øjne uden omsvøb.

Alkoholiker – når man kun kan leve uden at drikke er på én gang dybt personlig og samtidig helt alment menneskelig. Det er en personlig beretning om turen helt ned i bunden af flasken og rejsen tilbage til livet. Og en alment menneskelig beskrivelse af, og refleksion over, de mekanismer, der får nogle mennesker til at drikke, og af sammenholdet blandt ædru alkoholikere. Det er en både tragisk og morsom bog. Tragisk, fordi så mange mennesker bliver alkoholikere, og fordi livet på bunden af flasken er så hårdt og ofte nedværdigende. Og morsom, fordi forfatteren med overskud og ærlighed også fortæller om de absurde situationer, han og hans alkoholiker-venner har sat sig selv i.En bog til både opmuntring og eftertanke.

Sheri P. Palmer, a Legal Assistant for over 20 years, had no intention of publishing. However, as she started walking through her fears, some of which led to an addiction to alcohol, she noticed a release of those fears followed by the power of freedom. She exposes her life during a difficult season, and she provides a rare window into addiction. She boldly proclaims a path back to God as the solution to overcoming destructive fears. She is no longer a victim but is living victoriously.

Jeg blev hentet hjem af et familiemedlem med få ord om, at jeg skulle med hjem. På vejen hjem så jeg en masse biler med forskellige blink på og tænkte blot: Hold da op, hvad er der sket i byen?Mit liv tog en uventet drejning tilbage i mine tidlige teenageår, hvor alt simpelthen blev vendt op og ned på vores liv som familie.Jeg ved, at der mange ting, jeg havde gjort anderledes, hvis jeg kendte opskriften på forhånd, ting, jeg i dag stadigvæk fortryder, jeg gjorde, men desværre handlede jeg ikke ud fra, hvad hjernen sagde, men ud fra følelser og styring, som jeg desværre ikke selv havde magt til at håndtere korrekt og konstruktivt.Denne bog er om ulykken, der vendte min familie på hovedet, der ændrede mig som person og gjorde, jeg røg ud i et misbrug, som havde store konsekvenser for mit videre liv.

Over the years, I have had many times when I thought that I was drinking too much or that I should really take a break from drinking. I tried several times to stop drinking. I have even gone for a couple weeks or months without drinking (although, even during those times of "not drinking," I would sneak in a glass of wine here and there and feel super proud of myself that I had such restraint). But sure enough, while on my self-imposed drinking hiatus, I'd think, "Why am I being so restrictive? I don't need to be so all-or-nothing about alcohol. I can have a glass of wine with dinner." Or I'd rationalize my drinking with, "In Europe they have a glass of wine with lunch and dinner. If I were in Europe I wouldn't even be second guessing how much wine I drink. Our views on alcohol are so uptight in North American."So I'd start drinking again.¿"Carrie is one of the most enlighten, compassionate people I have ever met.
