In her new book “We Are The Luckiest” Laura is raising the question “What is so lucky about being an addict?” When she entered the rooms Laura thought that everyone around her was bullshitting themselves. “They must be, without alcohol your life can’t be better.” Little did she know how much better it was about to get. Today Laura has a daughter who is safe and healthy, something she wasn’t always able to say.

Today Laura is taking another step, she is no longer simply “Recovering From” she has begun the journey of “Recovering To.” In a nutshell that means looking at what else is in the way of her clarity. Examining the world around her and identifying where else might she be escaping and trading an amazing life for a novel one.

Laura’s book “We Are the Luckiest” can be found wherever books are sold. This book is not just for those on a recovery path due to addictions that society hates, this book is for everyone, the shopaholic, and the netflixaholic as well. Sure, we can say “It’s not bad” but it is. You’re trading your clarity for emptiness, and if that’s is not going to be considered bad then I don’t know what would be because that’s the exact reason people yell so loud about drug and alcohol addiction.
