Intoxicating Lies - by Meg Geisewite (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Meg never hit a rock bottom.

Most people think that in order to acknowledge and address a drinking problem, you must first hit rock bottom, but this heartfelt story reveals the truth that gray area drinking comes in many shades. Alcohol consumption exists on a spectrum with a vast range of dependency in the middle.
Gray area drinking unconsciously haunts most people until it becomes a problem. Our society is inundated with messages that support unhealthy drinking habits, just one of the many insidious lies of alcohol.

Intoxicating Lies, you will find the relatable story of one mom's
journey to freedom--not only from gray area drinking but also from the shame and guilt that crushed her sense of worth and inner knowing. This book uncovers surprising insights into the alcohol industry and our society's obsession with the mommy wine culture.

With practical advice and friendly wisdom from a mom who has seen it all, this book should be every woman's guide to living in authentic freedom from alcohol's intoxicating lies.

"Intoxicating Lies is the book I wish I had when I felt stuck in the drinking trap, dreading the idea of quitting completely but knowing my heavy drinking was unsustainable. Meg's story, combined with a compilation of the lies we tell ourselves about drinking, is going to help so many gray area drinkers who question their alcohol intake but fear the idea of abstinence. A must read for gray area drinkers!"
