Discover how sobriety helped one woman cultivate self-esteem and inner peace.
After years of questioning her relationship with alcohol, Lisa Bennett decided to quit drinking. She never hit a dramatic rock bottom, but her main mood enhancer had lost its luster. She felt stuck, and she suspected that a more fulfilling life awaited her in sobriety. With booze out of the way, Lisa began what she dubbed her unfurling. She was alive, hungry, and happy. And she was writing again.
In My Unfurling, Lisa examines how self-doubt and anxiety led her to drink. She explores her complicated relationship with her mother, the casual bullying that came with being a late bloomer, her intense friendships, and her search for validation through love and work.
My Unfurling traces Lisa's journey beyond insecurity, jealousy, and fear. It is the story of her grief over losing a friend to addiction and her struggle to gain control over her own mind. In this touching and funny memoir, an engaging, relatable voice shares how she broke free from a tangle of bad habits and her plan to keep reaching for the light.
Anyone who is wondering when or if they'll ever burst out and follow their dreams will find My Unfurling compelling and hopeful.
