No Lost Causes Club: An Honest Guide to Recovery, and How to Find Your Way Through It (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798874881948)

Brutally honest, darkly funny, and deeply empathetic, No Lost Causes Club is a guide to the process of sobering up when it feels like the party's just getting started, from the voice of the popular Instagram account @brutalrecovery.

When she was told that her life expectancy could be as low as twenty-five if she did not stop drinking, Lauren McQuistin felt absolutely nothing--then despair and disbelief. How was she here? Surely, sobriety was for middle-aged divorc?es who'd lost everything, not young, struggling singers who didn't have anything to lose in the first place? Besides, when alcohol is the only medicine that makes the world feel bearable, how can you possibly stop taking it?

Six years later, Lauren has found her way to an intricate answer. Entwining practical, empathetic suggestions with intimate memoir, No Lost Causes Club is an intrinsically vulnerable and brutally honest exploration of what it looks like to live a full life after getting clean. From delving into the social complexities that often leave people hopelessly dependent on alcohol, to centering the struggles of those newly navigating sobriety, this book is a soothing balm for anyone wondering how to carve out a beautiful life in a world that never made sense before.
