“We Are the Luckiest is a masterpiece. It’s the truest, most generous, honest, and helpful sobriety memoir I’ve read. It’s going to save lives.”
— Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior: A Memoir

What could possibly be “lucky” about addiction? Absolutely nothing, thought Laura McKowen when drinking brought her to her knees. As she puts it, she “kicked and screamed . . . wishing for something — anything — else” to be her issue. The people who got to drink normally, she thought, were so damn lucky.

But in the midst of early sobriety, when no longer able to anesthetize her pain and anxiety, she realized that she was actually the lucky one. Lucky to feel her feelings, live honestly, really be with her daughter, change her legacy. She recognized that “those of us who answer the invitation to wake up, whatever our invitation, are really the luckiest of all.”

Here, in straight-talking chapters filled with personal stories, McKowen addresses issues such as facing facts, the question of AA, and other people’s drinking. Without sugarcoating the struggles of sobriety, she relentlessly emphasizes the many blessings of an honest life, one without secrets and debilitating shame.

This book was given to me by my wife. It was beautiful, raw and inspiring. It is what my soul needed. I saw myself in the stories and found inspiration and encouragement to deepen my journey into sobriety.

I believe I will go back to this book again and again.

Simply wonderful

Author does a nice job of telling the story of her struggle, with some interesting insights along her journey. Pace is very slow - recommended listening speed at 1.2x or more.

Decent book

Simply beautiful. Heart breakingly relatable. Laura has a way of stringing together seemingly average words into a beautifully haunting magic that quite literally took my breath away. I will be quoting her book for the rest of my life. I felt eerily lost yet so full when I finished it. I cried hard throughout. Please do yourself a favor and READ THIS PIECE OF PERFECTION.

A masterpiece.

Thank YOU for writing this book and telling your story. Much of it resonated with me and I could feel your pain and joy in the parts that didn't. Beautifully read by the author which made it feel like she was personally telling me her story.

No, WE are the Luckiest!
