One woman's journey to finish what she started...Deep down, in a part of her that she thought she'd grown out of, Rebecca had always dreamt of becoming an author someday. With hangovers no longer holding her back - with eyes wide open and nowhere to hide - can she find the courage to confront her secret lifelong dream? Up All Day is an uplifting story for anyone who has ever had to conquer themselves in order to conquer their dreams. Because it turns out the biggest battle we'll ever face in reaching our creative potential, is the one that takes place inside of all of us.

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.

This Naked Mind offers a new, positive solution. Here, Annie Grace clearly presents the psychological and neurological components of alcohol use based on the latest science and reveals the cultural, social, and industry factors that support alcohol dependence in all of us. Packed with surprising insight into the reasons we drink, this book will open your eyes to the startling role of alcohol in our culture and how the stigma of alcoholism and recovery keeps people from getting the help they need.
