Like a Normal Person

The summer she gave up drinking was the summer Julie convinced herself she had succeeded in the pursuit of moderation. But this was only the beginning of her journey, and—through that first year of sobriety, tap-dance, marathons, mental health, self-discovery and lost love—there was still much to learn. In this raw,personal account of new sobriety, Julie examines how habits, individualcircumstances and our own pretences determine our trajectory and direct our path, and how through conviction we might ultimately discover something far more valuable than being 'normal'.
