"So this is a book on how I stopped drinking? No, its not. Its how I stopped drinking, started eating, became clinically severely obese, stopped eating (everything that wasnt nailed down) and swam my way to freedom. No, its not. Its actually about addiction and learning and sadness and anxiety and love and drive. Its about channelling the unchangeable into the miraculous. Its about dragons and learning how to put them to sleep when you cant slay them. Its about being my own Daenarys."
