Women share their drinking stories and why they quit when they still had options.

Have you ever wondered if social drinking has unintended consequences to your health, family, relationships, or your profession? Have you ever thought that losing control of your drinking couldn't happen to you or someone you love? All the women you know are too smart. Too rich. Too kind. Too together. Too much fun. Pick one. We live in a boozy culture, and the idea of women and wine has become entrenched. Is your book club really a 'wine club'? Do you crave the release a drink can bring to cope with anxiety, parenthood, the pressures of being a mom, a wife/partner, a professional? In Raising the Bottom, mothers, daughters, health professionals, and young women share their stories of why they drank, how they stopped, and the joys and rewards of being present in their lives once they kicked alcohol to the curb.

After short stints training polo horses, working as a flight attendant, hairdresser, and bartender, she revamped her life and settled in as a registered nurse. For the past twenty-seven years she has worked with hundreds of women to help them overcome alcoholism, live better lives, and become better parents. Now a multi-award-winning author, Raising the Bottom is her fifth book. She is the mother of twin sons, and lives in Ohio with her husband.
