In this unflinchingly honest and hilarious memoir, a woman discovers that her best life is a sober one.

For Sarah Hepola, drinking felt like freedom; part of her birthright as a twenty-first-century woman. But there was a price–she often blacked out, having no memory of the lost hours. On the outside, her career was flourishing, but inside, her spirit was diminishing. She could no longer avoid the truth–she needed help. 

Blackout is the story of a woman stumbling into a new kind of adventure–sobriety. Sarah Hepola's tale will resonate with anyone who has had to face the reality of addiction and the struggle to put down the bottle. At first it seemed like a sacrifice–but in the end, it was all worth it to get her life back.

    This got old, fast. Glad you’re sober, but…why write so much about how you miss consuming POISON—aka alcohol?
  • Excellent!

    Started reading this well before I stopped drinking (but I definitely had suspicions) after finding a recommendation for it in The Alcalde, finished it after I was seven months sober – thank you Sarah!

    I couldn’t put this book down. Parts were laugh out loud funny, and other parts were just sad. But all worth reading.

    As an recovering alcoholic, I thought this book hit home. She embodies all the fears, resentments and heart aches that plague an active alcoholic. It’s a must read for any woman considering or active in recovery
  • For anyone goin through jt

    This book is so raw and honest about alcoholism. Just about everything in the book everyone who has a drinking problem can relate too or if you want to get to understand what goes on in the minds of an alcoholics so you can understand.

    Her words captured me. Plain and simple. I'm not stating her words are plain and simple, quite contrary Sarah's words are luxurious, raw, rude, and comforting. They are truth, her truth. I gobbled up this book so quickly, I made myself read it again right after at a purposely slower pace so I could truly consume each part. She made it so easy to relate to herself and to every character. Even the jerks.
  • How did this even get published?

    I haven't fallen victim to this kind of hype since Prozac Nation (which I tossed in the airport trash can). Maybe I have a low tolerance for white girls whining. Yes, I know both alcoholism and suicide are serious, important subjects. I just found it hard to sympathize with this author. I mean the worst thing that happens to her is she wakes up banging some guy in a hotel room. Sorry, chick, ever heard of freshman year? Also the references to Bobby Flay only reinforced my suspicions on this one: it's who you know. Skip this one.
