My Unfurling: Emerging from the Grip of Anxiety, Self-Doubt, and Drinking

Lisa May Bennett
3.86/5 (88 ratings)
Wicked hangovers. Scary blackouts. Ugly fights with friends. The results of binge drinking weigh heavily on Lisa May Bennett. She tries repeatedly to savor “just a few” glasses of wine—only to find herself passed out on the couch again.

Lisa has a bucket list full of exciting adventures with zero check marks next to them. Her anxiety and self-doubt are crying out for real solutions, not more booze. And her dream of becoming a published writer is fading away. She worries that her love of a good buzz will keep her stuck in this rut. Can she take charge of her life, or is she headed for a disastrous rock bottom?

This touching and funny memoir explores the childhood experiences that paved the way for Lisa’s drinking habit. She examines her complicated relationship with her mother, her experiences as a late bloomer, and her ongoing search for validation. In an engaging and relatable voice, the author shares how she began to “unfurl” without alcohol holding her back. But will she stay sober and discover how to truly thrive?

Anyone wondering if they'll ever burst out and follow their dreams will find My Unfurling compelling and hopeful.

"Reading My Unfurling is like taking a road trip with a smart, funny friend whose stories about her life effortlessly help you to understand and appreciate your own. Lisa Bennett doesn't shy away from darkness and difficult truths, but hers is a fundamentally optimistic voice that gives sober-curious readers not just any path forward, but one ablaze with light and possibility. I loved it." –Kristi Coulter, author of Nothing Good Can Come from This
