Minding Frankie [sound recording] / by Binchy, Maeve.; Binchy, Kate.;
Read by Kate Binchy.Noel and Lisa adore their little girl, Frankie, and with the help of their friends, they work hard to give her a happy and secure home. But in fact neither of them are Frankie's parents. They are there first because of a promise, and they stayed because Frankie has become a life-line to them both. For Noel, looking after Frankie has been his salvation. An alcoholic, he knew nothing about Frankie until her mother told him she was pregnant, he was the father, and she needed him to take care of the baby. Lisa gave up a good job for the man she loved, determined to help him set up his business. But nothing turned out as expected. Not everyone is keen to support Noel and Lisa in their efforts. Marian is a social worker, and absolutely sure an ex-alcoholic is not a suitable parent. But her own life is not as straightforward as she would have everyone believe.Compact discs.

No lost causes club : an honest guide to recovery, and how to find your way through it / by McQuistin, Lauren,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages [243-249]).Introduction -- Rock bottom -- Fear -- Early days -- Senses -- Emotions -- Escapism -- Getting into the world -- The internet -- When things get hard -- Sex and love -- Dating -- Regret -- Repair and restoration -- Conclusion.When she was told that her life expectancy could be as low as twenty-five if she did not stop drinking, Lauren McQuistin felt absolutely nothing--then despair and disbelief. How was she here? Surely sobriety was for middle-aged divorcees who'd lost everything, not young, struggling singers who didn't have anything to lose in the first place? Besides, when alcohol is the only medicine that makes the world feel bearable, how can you possibly stop taking it? Six years later, Lauren has found her way to an intricate answer. Entwining practical, empathetic suggestions with intimate memoir, No Lost Causes Club is an intrinsically vulnerable and brutally honest exploration of what it looks like to live a full life after getting clean. From delving into the social complexities that often leave people hopelessly dependent on alcohol to centering the struggles on those newly navigating sobriety, this book is a soothing balm for anyone wondering how to carve out a beautiful life in a world that never made sense before.

The unexpected joy of being sober / by Gray, Catherine,author.(CARDINAL)425708;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 263-267) and index."Ever sworn off alcohol for a month and found yourself drinking by the 7th? Think there's 'no point' in just one drink? Welcome! There are millions of us. 64% of Brits want to drink less... Catherine Gray was stuck in a hellish whirligig of Drink, Make horrible decisions, Hangover, Repeat. She had her fair share of 'drunk tank' jail cells and topless-in-a-hot-tub misadventures. But this book goes beyond the binges and blackouts to deep-dive into uncharted territory: What happens after you quit drinking? This gripping, heart-breaking and witty book takes us down the rabbit-hole of an alternative reality. A life with zero hangovers, through sober weddings, sex, Christmases and breakups. In The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober, Catherine Gray shines a light on society's drink-pushing and talks to top neuroscientists and psychologists about why we drink, delving into the science behind what it does to our brains and bodies. Much more than a tale from the netherworld of addicted drinking, this book is about the escape, and why a sober life can be more intoxicating than you ever imagined."--Publisher description.
