Publisher's Summary
Bryony Gordon is a respected journalist, a number one best-selling author and an award-winning mental health campaigner. She is also an alcoholic.
In Glorious Rock Bottom Bryony opens up about a toxic 20-year relationship with alcohol and drugs and explains exactly why hitting rock bottom - for her, a traumatic event and the abrupt realisation that she was putting herself in danger, time and again - saved her life.
Known for her trademark honesty, Bryony relives the darkest and most terrifying moments of her addiction, never shying away from the fact that alcoholism robs you of your ability to focus on your family, your work, your health, your children, yourself. And then, a chink of light as the hard work begins - rehab; AA meetings; endless, tedious, painful self-reflection - a roller-coaster ride through self-acceptance, friendship, love and hope, to a joy and pride in staying sober that her younger self could never have imagined.
Shining a light on the deep connection between addiction and mental health issues, Glorious Rock Bottom is in turn shocking, brutal, dark, funny, hopeful and uplifting. It is a sobriety memoir like no other.

Real, entertaining, fast paced, lovely narration.
I’ve read many “quit lit” but there is only a few I would really say have the full package of interesting, entertaining, informative and narrated by the author who is excellent. This is the diary of a 37 year old self confessed “alcoholic” from rehab to 3 years. Focusing on year 1. It’s a real account of what is so many high achieving professionals. A must read for anyone questioning their relationship with the poison.

Humerus, brave, sad, encouraging!
Sometimes a bit rushed in delivery but no wonder with the power of the story to deliver. Sharing such personal details.
Empowering, realistic and sobering… Thank you x

Incredible really.
As a woman in her 30’s whose suffered from OCD since childhood, and alcoholism since barely the beginning of adulthood, this book touched my soul. I made the mistake of finishing it on the bus and resultantIy shed more than a few tears in front of complete strangers, but I still say this is the best sobriety memoir I’ve read. Thank you so much for writing this ❤️.

It was okay
She overshares unnecessary which doesn’t add anything at all to her story except an uneasy cringe factor. I commend her or beating her booze and drug addiction though.
