Bridget Jones Dries Out is a brave and funny memoir that is changing lives. Clare Pooley, a Cambridge graduate and Managing Partner at one of the world's biggest advertising agencies, had become an overweight, depressed, middle-aged mother of three who was drinking more than a bottle of wine a day and spending her evenings Googling "Am I an alcoholic?" In a desperate bid to turn her life around, she quit drinking and started a blog. She called it "Mummy Was a Secret Drinker."

This book is the story of a year in Clare's life. It started with her quitting booze, having been drinking more than a bottle of wine every day. It sees her starting a hugely successful blog, then getting and beating breast cancer. By the end of the year, she is booze-free and cancer-free, two stone lighter, and with a life that is so much richer, healthier, and more rewarding than ever before.

How do I know if I'm drinking too much?

How will I cope at parties?

What do I say to friends and family?

How do I cope with cravings?

Will I lose weight?

What if my partner still drinks?

And many more.
