About this audiobook
An unflinching and hilarious memoir about recovery as a mother of young kids, Bottled explains the perils moms face with drinking and chronicles the author's path to recovery, from hitting bottom to the months of early sobriety-a blur of pain and chaos-to her now (in)frequent moments of peace.
Punctuated by potent, laugh-out-loud sarcasm, Bottled offers practical suggestions on how to be a sober, present-in-the-moment mom, one day at a time, and provides much needed levity on an issue too often treated with deadly seriousness.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Heartbreaking and side-splitting. Serious humor about a serious topic: addiction. Dana puts all of it out there for us to identify with. (Dang. Ended with a preposition.) I highly recommend you to read this--addiction or not. I bet if you don't have an addiction you know someone who does. Very frank and honest and yes, tears fell while reading, especially chp 25. I identified with a lot of the mom feelings. Brave lady.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book. The narrator is really good too. 5 stars.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Dana whines and prays. And then places them in top ten lists. Repeat over and over. The only sympathetic character is her husband.
