1. Blackout
Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget
A candid memoir about a woman whose drinking leads to frequent blackouts, risky behavior, and fractured relationships, and her gradual journey to sobriety. As she revisits nights she can’t remember, she confronts shame and denial to understand what she was chasing and what alcohol took away. It’s a sharp, often darkly funny exploration of memory, desire, autonomy, and the difficult work of reclaiming a life with honesty and compassion.
