The book “Jeg er alkoholiker. Og det tror jeg du også er.” (I am an alcoholic. And I think you are too.) is a poignant memoir by Gunn-Helen Øye. This is a strong and important real-life story about losing control of alcohol, particularly relevant for those with experiences related to alcohol abuse – personally or as a family member or friend.

Gunn-Helen Øye, outwardly successful, struggled with alcoholism in her private life. The book delves into her journey from being a high-functioning professional and mother who discreetly drank to losing control over her life due to alcohol. It details her path from casual drinking to dependency and finally to her decision to seek detoxification and embrace sobriety.

As a trend researcher, Øye also examines alcohol’s role in today’s culture of indulgence and the significant impact of unconscious habits. Celebrating over 30 years of sobriety, she shares insights and experiences that can be life-changing for readers.
