Where do you turn for hope when you already have the answer--but the answer isn't working? As a long-time Christian, Heather Kopp never expected to become an out-of-control alcoholic who kept private stashes of booze all over the place--tucked behind books in her study, zipped into a special compartment in her oversized purse, at the back of her closet stuffed inside her boots. Even as her career and marriage teetered on the brink, Kopp couldn't get a grip, desperately hiding the true extent of her drinking from the rest of the world--her husband included. During the day she wrote books about God and prayer and family. At night she'd locked herself in her bathroom to guzzle chardonnay. For her, as for many Christians who struggle with addiction, overwhelming shame and confusion only made things worse. Why wasn't her faith enough to save her? Why didn't repentance, Bible reading and prayer work? Where was God? Meanwhile, as she watched in horror, her grown son descended into his own nightmare of drugs and alcohol. She feared for his life, yet she couldn't stop drinking long enough to help him--or find a way out for herself. Until the day everything changed. Engaging, funny and bracingly honest, Kopp shares her remarkable journey into darkness...and back to the light again. Her story reveals the unique challenges and spiritual conundrums Christians face when they become ensnared in an addiction, and the redemption that's possible when we finally reach the end of ourselves. If you love Jesus but shop too much, drink too much, eat too much, crush on men who aren't your husband, or otherwise fixate on doing things you hate but can't stop doing, SOBER MERCIES is for you. As you follow Kopp's sincere, stumbling journey toward freedom and a deeply satisfying relationship with God, you'll find renewed hope--and practical steps of recovery--for your own journey.

We all know what it feels to be happy but do we know what it is? We all know what the feelings of love and anger are, but do we know the mechanisms of its orchestration? Well, do we need to?Poetry is similar to feelings; we don't need to know what all the words mean as long as we feel it inside of ourselves. We don't need to know the poet's perspective to create our own. You don't need to know the word blue to know that the sky is.The word- filled pages are about all the things that you wish you said. All the things you have thought. All the things you wish were true. It inscribes all of it yet none at once. This is not some guide of happiness, some profound work of literature, which would help you to find the meaning of it all. This is your everyday musings of love, your daily struggle with being a juvenile, the injustice of the way the world works and much more.This book 'Sober Love Of Drunken Truths' pirouettes between the little poems of wonder and the long-drawn pieces of literature. You'll find yourself skipping to a new feeling with every page. The book will not take you through a smooth journey and leave you at a preconditioned destination, rather, like life itself, it will spring new feelings every couple of pages, and when, you turn the last page and wonder at the abruptness of the ending, you will realize that you didn't need it in the first place. You always knew it in your heart. Just like life. You always know the meaning of everything that happened when the end draws close.The poems like 'Saudade', talk about the unconventional ways of finding love but never being able to bask in it. While drastically on the other hand 'Blood Wins The Battle' talks about the passage of blood in wars. Some poems don't even have a title for I believed that the use of one will degrade its importance. These 'title-less' pieces tell us about people, whose beauty cannot be encompassed in a mere 100 words, it makes us aware of the scuffles of life and leaves us pondering over the idiosyncrasy of what we call life. The book is essentially split into two parts, a) Sober love and b) Drunken truths. The 'Sober Love' part of the book deals with not only romanticized love but also what it is to love life. It talks about the first time you see the one you are going to fall in love with, to the time when you have to part. It converses with us about the love that remains unrequited, and the ones that are fulfilled. All the desires and pain.The drunken truths tell well, drunken truths. The way life loses itself while you continue with your bland existence. The anger that boils inside with being treated less when you know more. What the sad truth of the system is, the blood, the lies and, the misguided ties. What is the first thing you notice when you wake up in the morning? Do we see the sun or feel its warmth? We feel the warmth. We feel things before we see them. We feel them before even knowing what it is. Even before understanding what we feel. This book is just that, a feeling. You don't need to try and understand what it means. You'll just know it. As said by Walt Whitman, "The words of my book nothing, the drift of it everything." Nothing explains my book the way this quote does.I don't want to get into details of the book. I don't want to ruin the first time wonder of reading something. The human brain works on novelty and who am I to disregard its wishes? All I can wish for is that it reaches the right audiences. I hope that people recite my poetry in numerous places and more importantly that, they like it. Once again quoting Walt Whitman "There are no great poets, without great audiences."

In this honest discussion of mental health, the founder of Therapy for Women explores our reasons for drinking alcohol—and the benefits of taking a break. When “retired party girl” and popular therapist Amanda White admitted she was an alcoholic, it wasn’t because she’d done something outrageous while under the influence, like land herself in jail or get married in Vegas. It was because she realized three things: 1. Alcohol was making her life worse. 2. Moderation wasn’t helping. 3. She could not be a therapist if she continued to use alcohol to numb her life. Something needed to change—not just her relationship with alcohol, but her relationship with herself. Choosing not to drink can be daunting. It’s everywhere in our culture, our socializing, and our destressing. And it can seem black or white: you drink, or you don’t (and if you don’t, people ask why). That’s where Not Drinking Tonight comes in. Judgement-free and relatable, Amanda helps you unpack your relationship with alcohol by showing you how to: Find out why you drink. Whether it’s a glass of wine after work or a weekly bar crawl, your drinking habits can be the result of everything from biology to trauma. Heal your relationship with alcohol. Understand how your relationships have been affecting your life, and learn how to set boundaries and create true self care. Build the sober life you love. Learn what comes next—how to maintain your social life, navigate sex and relationships, and love yourself. Not Drinking Tonight isn’t a program to stop drinking. It’s the first book to help you address the root issues that cause you to reach for a drink, and create a life you love—one that is not perfect, but is messy and real and one you are fully present for.

Drinking written by Caroline Knapp and has been published by Dial Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1999-08-02 with Biography & Autobiography categories.

Fifteen million Americans a year are plagued with alcoholism. Five million of them are women. Many of them, like Caroline Knapp, started in their early teens and began to use alcohol as "liquid armor," a way to protect themselves against the difficult realities of life. In this extraordinarily candid and revealing memoir, Knapp offers important insights not only about alcoholism, but about life itself and how we learn to cope with it. It was love at first sight. The beads of moisture on a chilled bottle. The way the glasses clinked and the conversation flowed. Then it became obsession. The way she hid her bottles behind her lover's refrigerator. The way she slipped from the dinner table to the bathroom, from work to the bar. And then, like so many love stories, it fell apart. Drinking is Caroline Kapp's harrowing chronicle of her twenty-year love affair with alcohol. Caroline had her first drink at fourteen. She drank through her yeras at an Ivy League college, and through an award-winning career as an editor and columnist. Publicly she was a dutiful daughter, a sophisticated professional. Privately she was drinking herself into oblivion. This startlingly honest memoir lays bare the secrecy, family myths, and destructive relationships that go hand in hand with drinking. And it is, above all, a love story for our times—full of passion and heartbreak, betrayal and desire—a triumph over the pain and deception that mark an alcoholic life. Praise for Drinking “Quietly moving . . . Caroline Knapp dazzles us with her heady description of alcohol's allure and its devastating hold.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review “Filled with hard-won wisdom . . . [a] perceptive and revealing book.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Eloquent . . . a remarkable exercise in self-discovery.”—The New York Times “Drinking not only describes triumph; it is one.”—Newsweek
