Book Description

From the author of the bestselling sobriety memoir, A Happier Hour, comes a memoir about the beauty and power of creativity… What does it take to live without alcohol long-term? Ask anyone who’s long-term sober and they’ll likely tell you that having some sort of goal, dream, purpose, or passion in life has been pivotal to their success. Rebecca Weller was no different. She once talked about a lot of things she ‘intended to do’, when she was drinking. Big, bold plans written on the backs of napkins, shared with friends over their tenth round, and drunkenly scrawled into her journal late at night. Plans that magically evaporated like stardust in the morning light. On the verge of celebrating two years of sobriety, and as determined as ever to ‘reach her full potential’, she thinks she’s got it all figured out. But when she’s offered a place in a book course and a chance at becoming a Real Writer, will she dare to confront her secret lifelong dream? She’s about to discover that her hard-won sober status will only take her so far. What comes next is up to her. Up All Day is an uplifting true story about overcoming our limiting beliefs and embracing our dreams – especially when they appear in a form we didn’t expect. It’s about being brave, and doing hard things (even if you might fail), because of how they change you.
