Produktbeschreibung
Jackie Elliott loves her wine. It makes her feel confident, and helps to relieve her anxiety and worry. Drinking wine is normal. Drinking wine is fun. Until it isn't. Jackie refuses to believe she has problem, after all she doesn't live under a bridge, she is still quite thin (and therefore healthy), and is quite able to function! But Jackie's "Drunken Magical Thinking" is propelling her towards disaster. Her life is starting to disintegrate. The party really comes to end when Jackie starts to have blackouts. Not "falling down drunk" blackouts, but complete gaps in her memory after drinking only a few glasses. She can't recall conversations, phone calls, and most nights, she can't remember going to bed. Jackie's love affair with Wine must come to an End. 'Sober Ever After' is not a "Dead Drunk in a Ditch" sensational story - it's part memoir, part self help guide from an ordinary woman who fell for the Big Con - that alcohol is not only harmless and fun, but we can't live without it. 'Sober Ever After' is for everyone who has the vague nagging worry that there must be more to life than chardonnay, cable and the couch.

Autorenporträt
Jackie is originally from the UK, but she settled on Vancouver Island, Canada in 2004. She's married to Bob, a commercial fisherman and accomplished storyteller - like most fishermen! It was a culture shock to swap a fast-paced city life for Island living. It wasn't at all how Jackie had expected. She was intrigued by the pioneer spirit of their small communities, and the fight to hang on to traditional ways of living. In her experience, small towns 'with a heart' have claws and teeth as well and that makes the perfect back drop for a good murder! When Jackie's not writing, she is gardening, reading, or poking around local museums, looking for inspiration.
