520			_aMost new mothers don't find themselves pushing the Bugaboo pram into a bottle shop each day. Most new mothers don't down bottles of vodka until they black out. But most new mothers are not like Jowita Bydlowksa ...On the surface, Jowita seemed like any other urban mother with a new baby, a new house and a loving relationship with her boyfriend. But this facade hid her inability to resist the lure of alcohol, binge drinking and terrifying blackouts. Jowita has taken the no bullshit, no-holds-barred approach to this frightening account about being an alcoholic new mother. The result is a brutally honest, often painful account of not being able to stop the oncoming train wreck. As she grapples with addiction and guilt, she avoids vapid self-justification, and instead shines a light on the endless hunger of wanting just one more taste while facing motherhood, anxiety, depression and rehab. DRUNK MUM is a spare, harsh and honest book--refreshingly free of both histrionics and cheap sentimentality--from which you simply cannot look away.
