About this listen

Mrs. D is an alcoholic, albeit a very nice, respectable, articulate, and groomed alcoholic.

This is an honest, upfront, relatable account of one suburban housewife's journey from miserable wine-soaked boozer to self-respecting sober lady.

This audiobook is an inspirational tale of self-transformation, addiction, and domesticity. This audiobook lays out the entirely unexpected solo journey Mrs. D took in the first year of her sobriety and reveals the incredible online support that came through on her confessional blog, a blog intended to be a private online diary but turned into something else quite remarkable.

My goodness I enjoyed this books. As a person with Aphantasia, I can find it hard to enjoy a lot of books. This book had me hooked from the start. The fact I can visualise didn’t matter with this book.

My only criticism is that she sounds a bit like Julia Gillard…

What a brilliant book!

This book was very inspirational, real and helpful. I had given up giving up alcohol but this book inspired my 9th + attempt to give up alcohol again. Thanks lotta o

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I learned so much from it. It is a book for anyone who is thinking about giving up alcohol, or for anyone who has already given up alcohol. It made me realise that sobriety is hard work, & is not all joy but that it is better than boozing, ultimately. I can relate to all of the raw feelings, after giving up drinking. I recommend this book as an awesome, enlightening listen!

A marvellous book!

Loved the book!!!

The only thing that got me was the Australian accent with the kiwi colloquialisms .. think it would have been an awesome self narration … but I’m sure only a kiwi would notice that!

Thanks for sharing your story Mrs D and keep up the great work! :)

I found the book somewhat relatable with all the big feels that come with quitting alcohol, but the whole time I was waiting for the lapse that never came. I don’t know anybody that has managed to quit booze first time up. Including myself, I’ve tried several times. I would have been able to relate more had the author experienced the struggle which comes with slipping up and starting over again and again.

A light drink.

Well written with a great sense of humour sharing her personal battle with alcohol

As someone who gave up drinking 4 years ago, I was interested to see a different person's perspective on sobriety. And whilst my story is vastly different to Mrs D's, many truths ring true.
Beautifully written, a story of perseverance and the unexpected joys that came about because of sharing her truth.

Honest and well written
