My Alcoholic Escape From Reality by Kabi Nagata

A brutally honest autobiographical graphic memoir that follows the author's spiral into alcoholism as a way to cope with depression, anxiety, and loneliness, depicting the shame, self-destructive choices, and strained relationships that accompany addiction. Through stark, intimate drawings and candid narration, it traces attempts at recovery, therapy, and self-forgiveness, offering an unflinching yet occasionally darkly humorous look at how mental illness and substance use intertwine and the small steps toward healing.
