Raising the Bottom: Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture, by Lisa Boucher

There seems to be a countertrend taking place against the “mommy wine culture”, with women sharing stories of why they drank, how they stopped, and the joys of being more present in their lives. This book contains many stories of why women drank, how they stopped, and the rewards of being more present in their lives. While AA is a solution cited frequently in this book, others just stopped because they addressed their bottom earlier.

“I believe a miracle allowed me to see what I needed to see when I saw it—and I think it’s even more remarkable that I took action.”
