In her searingly honest and darkly humorous memoir, Was Better Last Night, Andi Dorfman opens up about her struggles with alcoholism and addiction.

Dorfman's journey began in college, where she drank heavily to cope with the pressure of school and social life. After graduation, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in entertainment, and her drinking escalated. She lost jobs, relationships, and her health. At her lowest point, she was drinking a fifth of vodka a day and hiding her addiction from her family and friends.

But Dorfman eventually hit bottom and decided to get sober. She entered a treatment program and began the long and difficult process of recovery. With the help of therapy, support groups, and her own determination, she has been sober for over five years.

In Was Better Last Night, Dorfman shares her story with raw honesty and vulnerability. She writes about the shame, guilt, and self-loathing that she felt during her addiction. She also writes about the hope, strength, and resilience that she found in recovery.

Was Better Last Night is a powerful and inspiring memoir that offers hope to anyone who is struggling with addiction. Dorfman's story is a reminder that recovery is possible, even after hitting bottom.
