Bryony Gordon is a respected journalist, a number one best-selling author and an award-winning mental health campaigner. She is also an alcoholic. 

In Glorious Rock Bottom Bryony opens up about a toxic 20-year relationship with alcohol and drugs and explains exactly why hitting rock bottom - for her, a traumatic event and the abrupt realisation that she was putting herself in danger, time and again - saved her life. 

Known for her trademark honesty, Bryony relives the darkest and most terrifying moments of her addiction, never shying away from the fact that alcoholism robs you of your ability to focus on your family, your work, your health, your children, yourself. And then, a chink of light as the hard work begins - rehab; AA meetings; endless, tedious, painful self-reflection - a roller-coaster ride through self-acceptance, friendship, love and hope, to a joy and pride in staying sober that her younger self could never have imagined.

Shining a light on the deep connection between addiction and mental health issues, Glorious Rock Bottom is in turn shocking, brutal, dark, funny, hopeful and uplifting. It is a sobriety memoir like no other.

I love Bryony Gs books, especially when she narrates.
Going through my own challenges this book made me know I wasn’t alone. I am in awe of Bryonys honesty and her rawness she says it how it is. I love her for that. What Bryony didn’t have to do was display ALL in this book but she did it for one reason to help others. She is in my opinion a real hero for doing this. One of life’s earths angels.
“Let’s be better humans” - Bryony is a shining example of how this is so very possible.
Eternally grateful, thank you Bryony 🙏

Amazing - I was sad when it ended
