No Lost Causes Club

Part confessional memoir, part vital guide, No Lost Causes Club is a compassionate exploration of what navigating sobriety looks like in our modern world, from the author behind the popular Instagram account @brutalrecovery.

When she was told that her life expectancy could be as low as twenty-five if she did not stop drinking, Lauren felt absolutely nothing - then the sparks of despair. How was she here? Surely, sobriety was for middle-aged divorcées who'd lost everything, not young, struggling singers who didn't have anything to lose in the first place? Besides, when alcohol is the only medicine that makes the world feel bearable, how can you possibly stop taking it?

Six years later, Lauren has found her way to an intricate answer. Entwining practical, empathetic suggestions with intimate memoir, No Lost Causes Club is an intrinsically vulnerable and brutally honest exploration of what living a full life after you get clean looks like. From delving into the social complexities that often leave people hopelessly dependent on alcohol, to centring the struggles of those newly navigating sobriety, this book is a soothing balm for anyone wondering how to carve a beautiful life from a world that never made sense before.
