About this product

Product Information

'SIMPLY EXTRAORDINARY' New York Times 'It's such a savage thing to lose your memory, but the crazy thing is, it doesn't hurt one bit. A blackout doesn't sting, or stab, or leave a scar when it robs you. Close your eyes and open them again. That's what a blackout feels like.' For Sarah Hepola, alcohol was 'the gasoline of all adventure'. She spent her evenings at cocktail parties and dark bars where she proudly stayed till last call. Drinking felt like freedom, part of her birthright as an enlightened twenty-first-century woman. But there was a price. She often blacked out, waking up with a blank space where four hours should be. Mornings became detective work on her own life. What did I say last night? How did I meet that guy? Publicly, she covered her shame with self-deprecating jokes, and her career flourished, but as the blackouts accumulated, she could no longer avoid a sinking truth. The fuel she thought she needed was draining her spirit instead. A memoir of unblinking honesty and poignant, laugh-out-loud humor, BLACKOUT is the story of a woman stumbling into a new adventure-the sober life she never wanted. Shining a light into her blackouts, she discovers the person she buried, as well as the confidence, intimacy, and creativity she once believed came only from a bottle. Her tale will resonate with anyone who has been forced to reinvent themselves or struggled in the face of necessary change. It's about giving up the thing you cherish most-but getting yourself back in return. A raw, vivid and ultimately uplifting memoir of addiction and recovery for anyone who is looking to find their way.

  • Your best nights out are NOT the ones you can't remember. If you identify with the author it is perhaps time to quit drinking.

    I buy this book to give away to people. It is my favourite book of all time. I also have it on Audible. Her story is compelling to many a drinker especially "problem drinkers". She explains Blackouts in simple terms. Basically, like a computer, if the data is unsaved it will never be recovered. For it to be unsaved you are drinking so rapidly you are flooding the part of the brain that stores your memories. If your friend keeps asking you the same question... they are in Blackout. Their short term memory is working but that's it. Hence the repetition of questions. I know this because I read it in this book.
