Surviving Magnelia Monsoon: Beyond 1215 and the Bottle by Jansen, Maggie

Description: The seeds of alcoholism are often planted deep in the shadows of childhood, growing silently and unnoticed until it inevitably blooms into an active problem that can derail and destroy lives, careers, and families. Surviving Magnelia Monsoon: Beyond 1215 and the Bottle is a raw, intimate, and inspiring memoir, vividly detailing the author's descent into alcoholism, and how (after decades of struggle), she finally managed to reclaim joy, love, and family from the depths of a despair she'd been sure would never end.From a childhood that grew more and more dysfunctional as her parents' marriage dissolved into tears, raised voices, and raised fists, eventually ending in divorce and estrangement, the narrative follows the author's struggles to feel safe or loved after her mother's departure, to calm the chaotic storm left in her wake, and to fill the growing emptiness, threatening to swallow her whole, with anything that might take the pain away, or at least numb her to it for a while. She manages to keep a mask of normalcy firmly in place for years (more or less), and build a near-perfect life with a loving family of her own, but with alcohol degrading its foundations, a collapse is inevitable-a collapse that will leave her with no choice but to get help or die buried under the rubble.Contradicting the egregious and harmful stereotype of alcoholics being weak-willed or "lesser than," this memoir showcases the incredible strength needed to even function under the weight of denial, rationalizations, and self-loathing, let alone accomplish anything, as well as the fact that it is a disease that doesn't discriminate based on birth or circumstance. It can affect anyone ... and does. No alcoholic is truly alone in their struggle. It is all too common. But there is always a way out.
