Book Description
An occupational therapist, yoga teacher and mother of three confronts him. "We need to talk. It's about your drinking." Conveying to an emperor of denial he's not wearing any clothes, will deliver the same result as a hand grenade with a loose pin-it's gonna blow!-which explains a SWAT team on the front lawn.Psychologically nuanced writing covers five years of guts and wit as "Jessica" navigates: the splash zone of alcoholism, legal chaos from "the incident", deceit in many forms, single parenting, divorce court without a lawyer-that always goes well-and poignant therapy sessions with Dr. Rachel Phoenix who offers take-away insights as sharp as her shoes. A vibrant, playful reemergence is brought to light as Jessica is pursued by a millionaire, tries dating a woman and then, there's the hot young contractor.SHOT GLASS is an intimate story of courage, compassion and altruism written with a touch of humor in unexpected places, captivating dialogue and immersive scenes that readers claim they can't put down. Everyone deserves a chance at sobriety, wellness and a path free from judgements.Facts: The CDC reported that more than 15 million people in the US struggled with alcohol use disorders, but fewer than 8% received treatment (January 2018). According to the US Justice Department, 4 million women were threatened by a firearm; 1 million of whom were actually shot, or shot at, during the incident (January 2019).
