“We Are the Luckiest is a masterpiece. It’s the truest, most generous, honest, and helpful sobriety memoir I’ve read. It’s going to save lives.” — Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior: A Memoir

What could possibly be “lucky” about addiction? Laura McKowen asked herself the same question when drinking brought her to her knees. She kicked and screamed, wishing for anything else to be her struggle. The people who got to drink normally seemed so damn lucky.

But here’s the surprising magic: in the raw, unfiltered light of early sobriety, McKowen discovered she was actually the fortunate one. Lucky to feel her feelings. Lucky to live honestly. Lucky to truly be present with her daughter and rewrite her family’s legacy. She came to understand that those of us who answer the invitation to wake up—whatever that invitation looks like—are really the luckiest of all.

In these straight-talking, deeply personal chapters, McKowen tackles the hard stuff: facing uncomfortable truths, navigating the question of AA, dealing with other people’s drinking, and sitting with the discomfort that comes when you can no longer numb your pain. This isn’t a book that sugarcoats the struggle. Instead, it’s an honest companion for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol, offering both unflinching truth and radical hope.

McKowen’s voice feels like a trusted friend who’s walked this path before you—warm, real, and refreshingly free of shame. For anyone ready to explore what a sober life might hold, this book is a beautiful place to start.
