Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget

“Brutally funny and alarmingly honest” this New York Times–bestselling memoir chronicles one woman's drinking life and her road to sobriety (Entertainment Weekly, “Must List”).

For Sarah Hepola, drinking felt like freedom; part of her birthright as a twenty-first-century woman. But there was a price–she often blacked out, having no memory of the lost hours. On the outside, her career was flourishing, but inside, her spirit was diminishing. She could no longer avoid the truth–she needed help.

Blackout is the story of a woman stumbling into a new kind of adventure–sobriety. Sarah Hepola's tale will resonate with anyone who has had to face the reality of addiction and the struggle to put down the bottle. At first it seemed like a sacrifice–but in the end, it was all worth it to get her life back.

“Simply extraordinary ... As a form, addiction memoirs are permanently interesting because they're an excuse to crack open a life. Ms. Hepola's book moves to a top shelf in this arena ... It's a win-win. She got a better life. We have this book.”-Dwight Garner, The New York Times

“You don't need to be a reformed problem drinker to appreciate Hepola's gripping memoir about the years she lost to alcohol-and the self she rediscovered once she quit.”-People, “Summer's Best Books”

“Hepola is an enchanting storyteller.” —The Washington Post
