Unmanageable: A Memoir: Drunken Wisdom
It seemed like a good idea at the time. He seemed like a nice guy… rich, charming, and sexy.My decisions and illusions seemed perfectly logical to me.So I couldn’t understand why people were arguing with me, demanding that I “run from that bastard and get my shit together!” Unmanageable is a crazy tour through two years of anxiety and drunken denial of reality. With marriage #3, problems came like machine-gun fire; I could either dodge or stay drunk on vodka.I chose the vodka. These years were short by the calendar but long on bizarre. From the wedding in a Chinese restaurant to a stint in jail, Unmanageable recreates the most unmanageable time of my life. Underneath, I knew what I saw - a drunk on the way to rock bottom. For the first time, I questioned my sanity.On the white sands of a Bahamas beach, I pleaded to a Higher Power I didn’t believe in. I knew the game was over, but I wasn’t finished yet. The Powerless series is a memoir told as a story; a story so twisted that it took seven books to reveal it all. This is the fourth stop in the crazy train ride of my life – a zany story about getting drunk, getting sober, and the quest for grace.

I'm almost done!
For the last few days I have been soaking up this series of memoirs written by a woman named Lela Fox who chronicles the ins and outs of being an alcoholic also suffering from Bipolar disorder. The books are never dull and while Fox is suffering, she manages to infuse humor and great storytelling. I'm ready to read the last book now and have really enjoyed this author's raw honesty.
