Drinking: A Love Story

Book • 1997
In 'Drinking: A Love Story,' Caroline Knapp candidly recounts her 20-year battle with alcoholism.

The book describes her life as a 'high-functioning alcoholic,' where she used alcohol to escape personal relationships and the realities of life.

Knapp details her descent into alcoholism, influenced by her family dynamics and personal crises, and her eventual struggle to achieve sobriety.

The memoir is a powerful and truthful account of her 'tortured love affair' with alcohol and her journey towards recovery, including her experiences with rehab and AA meetings.
