Publisher's Summary

Sober Stick Figure is a memoir from stand-up comedian Amber Tozer, chronicling her life as an alcoholic - starting with her first drink at the age of seven - and her eventual recovery. Amber writes about the crazy and harsh truths of being raised by alcoholics, becoming one herself, stagnating in denial for years, and finally getting sober.

As a teenager Amber is an overachieving student athlete who copes with her family's alcoholic tragedies by focusing on her achievements. It quickly takes a funny and dark turn when she starts to experiment with booze and ignores the warning signs of alcoholism. Through blackouts, cringe-worthy embarrassments, and pounding hangovers, she convinces herself that she "just likes to party". She leaves her hometown of Pueblo, Colorado, to follow her dreams and ends up in New York City, spending lots of time binge drinking, passing out on trains, and telling jokes onstage. She then moves to Los Angeles, thinking sunshine and show business will save her.

Eventually hitting rock bottom, she has a moment of clarity and knows she has to stop drinking. It's now been seven years since that last drink, and she's ready to tell her story. Sober Stick Figure is adventurous, hilarious, sad, sweet, tragic - and ultimately inspiring.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A really good story!

I really enjoyed this book! It was funny in places & a very honest look at alcoholism. I recommend this book to anyone struggling with alcoholism, or to people who are close to an alcoholic. Amber also has an open mind in that she does the twelve steps herself but understands that the twelve steps aren't for everyone. I can't stand people who say that AA is the only way, & Amber doesn't do this, she has an open mind.
