89: Eternally Expecting

Amy Liz Harrison's new memoir explores the problem of mommy wine culture, where it's become normal to use wine as a way to celebrate with friends, cope with being sad, or destress from a long day.

From her website:

"Here’s the nutshell, Cliff Notes version : “Mommy playdate drinking“ coupled with the high flying lifestyle of an airline executive’s wife, led to my disintegration into the depths of alcoholism. By the time I had my first 4 kids, I was drinking around the clock and eventually hit a soul-crushing brokenness I had never known. (Spoiler Alert = I have a mugshot out there at King County Jail.)  

BUT, I managed to get sober, my husband stayed with me, and I’ve given birth to four MORE kids. Yup - that means 8 in total - and I’m not even Mormon. (NO offense to Mormons, it’s a joke because I’m often asked if I am one.)

This spring commemorates a decade of continuous sobriety for me, and it seemed like the perfect time to share my journey. From essentially being the “Fyre Festival” of motherhood to becoming a sober mom of 8, it’s a wild ride and I’m so honored to have you along for it!"
