The alcoholic's notebook
Just one last glass... for the fifth time today. The book based on the Magnesia Litera award-winning blog.
Michaela Duffková is a young mother who decided to speak openly about her addiction to alcohol and her difficult treatment. Do you want to know why it's so hard to admit you have a drinking problem? Why even a small child isn't an obstacle to addiction? What motivated the author to seek treatment and what was her first year of sobriety like? This open and direct confession from a recovering alcoholic provides all the answers.
Her honestly shared experience of hitting rock bottom has generated huge public interest. Michaela won the Magnesia Litera award for her blog and began giving public lectures on addiction. Today, she is devoted to her dream project – a centre for the prevention and treatment of alcohol addiction.
What they wrote about the book:
Míša Duffková's story is a fantastic contribution to destigmatising female alcoholism and, at the same time, a unique testimony of pain and hope.
- prof. PhDr. Michal Miovský, Ph.D., Head of the Department of Addictology, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and General University Hospital
