Comedian, podcaster and Taskmaster champion John Robins’ memoir tells of his relationship with alcohol. Over the course of 12 drinks, he unpacks what it is to be an addict and his journey to sobriety.
Thoughtful, compassionate, and heart-wrenching, Robins’ account is never preachy but simply invites the reader to listen and reflect on their own coping mechanisms. It is also hilarious! After years of stand-up, Robins knows how far to push the emotion before undercutting the tension with humour. Sometimes I didn’t know whether I was crying with laughter or remorse.
