Diary of an Alcoholic’s Wife is a brutally honest and deeply personal memoir about loving someone with an addiction—while trying not to lose yourself in the process.

Told in diary form, this story captures twenty-one days of chaos, despair, and fleeting hope as the author navigates life with a husband drowning in alcoholism. But this is more than a wife’s story. It is also a daughter’s, shaped by childhood in a home wrecked by the same disease.

And it is the story of a woman who faced her own addiction and chose life—at 53.

Without judgement or clichés, this book offers both raw vulnerability and quiet power. For anyone who has lived alongside addiction, for those who are still living it, and for those trying to break the cycle—this book is a reminder: you are not alone, and it’s never too late to begin again.
