About this listen

After an exceptionally wild Mother’s Day where she danced like there was no tomorrow, picked a fight with a stranger, and collided with the floor, Johannesburg scriptwriter and author, Pamela Power, is forced to take a hard look at her drinking habits. She realizes that although she does not need to find an AA group immediately, she might be a serial binge drinker and needs to take back control.

In this honest, yet humorous account of her year of not getting sh*tfaced, Pamela examines her long relationship with alcohol. She is shocked to realize just how much of a crutch alcohol has been for her. There is always a bottle of wine or prosecco around to help her manage the many demands of life as a freelancer and a parent.

Pamela starts her journey to sobriety at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as her family faces financial troubles and life in the suburban parks of Johannesburg isn’t so blissful anymore. Through her, we experience all the frustration, irritation, and surprising benefits of going dry.

In dealing with her dependence on alcohol, Pamela also confronts her troubled relationship with her parents. While many other sober-curious books portray sobriety as the only answer, in the end Pam finds a sweet spot between total sobriety and binge drinking: moderation.

This was a failed attempt at quitting drinking

The author is a good writer but this book is so badly edited. I wish she took more time to write it and it may have been meaningful
