I have been a fan of Stefanie for many years since listening to her podcast。 I was glad to see the same wit and humor in this book。 She takes a very serious subject and adds humor to it making it relatable and a fun read。 Even being a long time follower and thinking I’ve heard all her stories, I was surprised to hear so many new ones! This is definitely a book I will be recommending to all of my friends。

A very eye-opening, yet funny account of the author's dealings with alcohol。 Going from a witty author who wrote books about moms who drink to cope with parenting, to suddenly realizing that she has a very out of control problem was handling deftly with laughter and love。 She doesn't mince words or pull punches discussing the help as well as the blowback。 A really funny book about a serious subject that is a quick read。 A very eye-opening, yet funny account of the author's dealings with alcohol。 Going from a witty author who wrote books about moms who drink to cope with parenting, to suddenly realizing that she has a very out of control problem was handling deftly with laughter and love。 She doesn't mince words or pull punches discussing the help as well as the blowback。 A really funny book about a serious subject that is a quick read。 。。。more

I was first introduced to Stefanie Wilder-Taylor many moons ago, when my kiddos were toddlers, and we watched a lot of tv shows on Nickelodeon。 During the day, my son and daughter would watch Dora the Explorer, Paw Patrol, and Blaze & the Monster Machines。 One night after the kids were in bed, yet Nickelodeon was still blaring, I discovered a funny and super relatable show called Parental Discretion with Stefanie Wilder-Taylor。 I appreciated the fact that it was geared towards moms, and funny as I was first introduced to Stefanie Wilder-Taylor many moons ago, when my kiddos were toddlers, and we watched a lot of tv shows on Nickelodeon。 During the day, my son and daughter would watch Dora the Explorer, Paw Patrol, and Blaze & the Monster Machines。 One night after the kids were in bed, yet Nickelodeon was still blaring, I discovered a funny and super relatable show called Parental Discretion with Stefanie Wilder-Taylor。 I appreciated the fact that it was geared towards moms, and funny as heck。 At that point in my life, I desperately needed some comedic relief, so I tried to catch Stefanie’s show every weeknight。 I loved her snarky sense of humor so much, I started following her on Facebook, and soon found out that she had written a hilarious parenting guide called, Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay。 (So funny! Adored it!) When I heard that she had a new memoir coming out, I requested it immediately。 In Drunk-ish, Wilder-Taylor talks both candidly and seriously about her relationship with alcohol。 In the throes of motherhood, she would day-drink with other moms during play dates, and sipped on wine to unwind after a long day。 She didn’t think she had a problem with alcohol, but some of her friends and family members were concerned。 At first, she was in denial and made excuses。 Her life was stressful! Sure, maybe she was becoming dependent on alcohol to get through the day, but was it really that bad? When do you label yourself an actual alcoholic? How awful do things need to be? She’d never received a DUI, and had never been to rehab, so how could she be an alcoholic? After some reflection, her eyes were opened, and it became evident that she needed some help。 I found Wilder-Taylor’s bravery, openness, and honesty in discussing her road to sobriety extremely admirable。 I’m so glad she had the support, tools, and resources to get the help she needed。 I applaud her for sharing her story, as I think it could be helpful to others who find themselves toeing that same line when it comes to alcohol use。 。。。more

I’ve been a follower of Stefanie’s writing back to her early blog days。 This collection of stories is raw, engaging, relatable and yes, funny with sprinkles of humor and her trademark writing style。 Her sober moment wasn’t dramatic, per se, but could have been。 Took me back to my early mom days when it was “your house or mine, red or white?” I felt like I was right there with her in many of the stories。 Side note-I recently started writing classes with Stefanie and her style of writing validates I’ve been a follower of Stefanie’s writing back to her early blog days。 This collection of stories is raw, engaging, relatable and yes, funny with sprinkles of humor and her trademark writing style。 Her sober moment wasn’t dramatic, per se, but could have been。 Took me back to my early mom days when it was “your house or mine, red or white?” I felt like I was right there with her in many of the stories。 Side note-I recently started writing classes with Stefanie and her style of writing validates I’m with the right teacher! 。。。more

Drunk-ish: Loving and leaving Alcohol is a memoir by Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, stand-up comedian, TV personality, and author of multiple books, including Sippy Cups are Not for Chardonnay。 This memoir is an honest and hilarious account of the authors journey to breaking up with alcohol。 I found this book to be so candid and I highly recommend it for anyone, especially if they are questioning their relationship with alcohol。Beginning in high school, alcohol became part of Wilder-Taylor’s everyday life。 When she became a mother, alcohol is what connected her to other moms。 When she was doing stand-up-comedy, alcohol is what she needed to calm her nerves before getting on stage。 Alcohol is what took the edge off and made her time in various situations more fun。 It wasn’t until her sister-in-law approached her about her drinking that she even thought there might be a problem。 After one evening driving her children while intoxicated, she knew she had to make changes。 Drunk-ish is a rollercoaster of self-discovery while the author wrestles with whether or not she is an alcoholic。 I applaud Wilder-Taylor for her decision to embrace sobriety and to share her story。 I found this memoir to be full of courage and very empowering。🎧I alternated between the physical book and the audiobook, narrated by the author。 I was literally laughing out loud while listening (and reading) because it honestly felt like I was in a conversation with a friend。 There’s something so special about having an author narrate a book, and I could not imagine listening to this one any other way! I highly recommend this audiobook because it gives you the opportunity to hear the humor, but also the courage in Wilder-Taylor’s words。 。。。more

I loved the deep honest mixed with humor Stephanie showed in this memoir! As someone with a family littered with addiction issues, it was interesting to hear from the side of someone trying to get and maintain sobriety。 I definitely recommend。

This was my first audiobook of 2024, and a great choice for that and a perfect way to kick off Dry January。 Stefanie is a mom。 She likes a glass (or a bottle) of wine every night to take the edge off。 She doesn’t have a problem…。right? This was such a hilarious and perspective look on how alcoholics don’t always hit rock bottom and don’t always appear how movies and film make them appear。 Stefanie narrates this one herself and does a fantastic job。 I’d recommend!

Moving and thought provoking。 I received a complimentary audiobook from the publisher via libro。fm。
Laura,
I won an early copy of the book from Goodreads。 The author takes you through her internal conversations and conflicts along the way to getting sober。 Because she is so willing to share her stories and struggles, I think she will reach people just like she did when she blogged and went on TV years ago to talk about moms who drink too much。 The added bonus is her trademark humor that still honors what she went through but adds authenticity。
