Description
Meg never hit a "rock bottom."
Most people think that in order to acknowledge and address a drinking problem, you must first hit rock bottom, but this heartfelt story reveals the truth that gray area drinking comes in many shades. Alcohol consumption exists on a spectrum with a vast range of dependency in the middle. Gray area drinking unconsciously haunts most people until it becomes a problem. Our society is inundated with messages that support unhealthy drinking habits, just one of the many insidious lies of alcohol.
In Intoxicating Lies, you will find the relatable story of one mom's journey to freedom-not only from gray area drinking but also from the shame and guilt that crushed her sense of worth and inner knowing. This book uncovers surprising insights into the alcohol industry and our society's obsession with the mommy wine culture.
With practical advice and friendly wisdom from a mom who has seen it all, this book should be every woman's guide to living in authentic freedom from alcohol's intoxicating lies.

About the Author
Bestselling author Meg Geisewite is an ordinary mom who found herself trapped in the mommy wine culture. She began her sober-curious journey in November 2019 where she completed all three of the Sober Sis programs: The 21-Day Reset; Alcohol-Free Lifestyle Course; and The Quest, in which she currently participates. Flipping the script of silence in the mommy wine culture, Meg continues to give back to Sober Sis, a SoberMinded Sisterhood, and is dedicated to lifting up a community of women who find themselves trapped in gray area drinking. Meg's love for science led her to a successful career in pharmaceutical sales. Science helped Meg discover the real truth about alcohol and its seductive lies in her debut book. Meg resides with her husband, Paul, in Newark, Delaware, where Paul has been her rock throughout her alcohol-free journey. They are blessed with two amazing children, Ashley and Grant, and their dog, Phoebe.
