“Don’t quit before the miracle happens.” This quote is the touchstone of this book “Drinking Games” by Sarah Levy. Part memoir, part life-coaching, this book will touch you and encourage you in unexpected ways. If you have concerns about alcohol use, the direction of your life, or how to be more present, this is the book to read.

“By the time I quit drinking I barely knew who I was.” “Drinking Games” is divided into four parts, “Wasted”, “Hungover”, “Sober”, “Free”. The author is honest about how much she drank, and how her drinking impacted her life and relationships. She learns that understanding herself takes real work, and that “real work” can be a positive experience.

I do think the book would be an even stronger testimony if Author Levy had been more transparent about her life. Schitt's Creek (stylized as Schitt$ Creek) was Canadian television sitcom created by Dan Levy and his father, Eugene Levy, that aired on from 2015 to 2020. The creators are her father and brother and Ms. Levy also was a featured character in the show. Isn’t this a big life event to leave out of a memoir? And yes, I loved the show.)

I recommend this book as it was an insightful and helpful story. Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advance digital review copy. This is my honest review.
