“We Are the Luckiest is a masterpiece. It’s the truest, most generous, honest, and helpful sobriety memoir I’ve read. It’s going to save lives.” — Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior: A Memoir What could possibly be “lucky” about addiction? Absolutely nothing, thought Laura McKowen when drinking brought her to her knees. As she puts it, she “kicked and screamed . . . wishing for something — anything — else” to be her issue. The people who got to drink normally, she thought, were so damn lucky. But in the midst of early sobriety, when no longer able to anesthetize her pain and anxiety, she realized that she was actually the lucky one. Lucky to feel her feelings, live honestly, really be with her daughter, change her legacy. She recognized that “those of us who answer the invitation to wake up, whatever our invitation, are really the luckiest of all.” Here, in straight-talking chapters filled with personal stories, McKowen addresses issues such as facing facts, the question of AA, and other people’s drinking. Without sugarcoating the struggles of sobriety, she relentlessly emphasizes the many blessings of an honest life, one without secrets and debilitating shame.

If you want to learn how to take control of your health during your first pregnancy, then keep reading. As somebody who has experienced pregnancy 4 times, I learned something new every single time. Every pregnancy is slightly different, but there are plenty of things that I wish I had understood better during my first pregnancy. There are several things mentioned in this book that I didn't start applying until my fourth pregnancy, and trust me when I say it made all the difference. If you are anything like me, being pregnant for the first time is extremely stressful. Don't get me wrong, I was super excited and I knew that I wanted to be a mom, but there was so much that I didn't know. I found myself spending too much time on google looking up my latest morning sickness symptom or researching how certain foods and activities would affect my baby. Despite all of my personal research and knowledge provided by others, there were still multiple surprises around every corner. I knew I couldn't predict the future, but I felt like I wasn't in control as much as I wanted to be. Between what the media portrays and the experiences of those close to you, you might think pregnancy is either all rainbows and sunshine or an excruciating experience that you just have to endure before having a baby. Although pregnancy has its ups and most certainly has its downs, I'm here to tell you that pregnancy is not meant to be suffered through. You can be happy and healthy throughout your entire pregnancy, even when it gets hard.

Morning sickness, cramps, anxiety, and depression are all real things that you can (and most likely will) experience in different quantities throughout pregnancy. I would be lying if I said that there was a way to avoid 100% of all the negative things that happen during pregnancy, but there are some things that are out of your control. That being said, this book will teach you how to effectively control everything that is in your power to control. Even when these negative things occur and try to push you down, you can still come out on top. In this book you will discover: Pregnancy is something to be enjoyed, not endured You are much more capable of having a happy and healthy pregnancy than you think The most essential exercise for taking control of your health during pregnancy 3 critical fruits to eat for a healthy pregnancy (hint: you're probably already eating them) How something you learned to do in elementary school can help you gain control of your pregnancy emotions Things you thought would be impossible to accomplish during pregnancy that are actually vital to staying mentally positive The secret to a successful fourth trimester (yes, it's a real thing) If you are going to have a baby, why be miserable for 9 months before it happens?
