On The Edge of Shattered by Kimberly Kearns

Book Details: ​Book Title: On The Edge of Shattered: A Mother’s Experience of Discovering Freedom Through Sobriety by Kimberly Kearns Category: Adult Non-Fiction (18+), 252 pages Genre: Non-Fiction, Memoir, Self-Help Publisher: Glass Spider Publishing Release date: November 2022 Rating: PG-13 + M: Intended for adults only, contains information on alcoholism Book Description:​Before she stopped drinking for good, Kim was lying to herself and everyone she knew about her daily habit—sneaking morning sips of vodka behind her husband’s back, emptying bottles of wine and hiding the evidence from her family, and convincing herself that nothing was wrong and everything was under control. Until she realized that it wasn’t, and that her dishonesty could cost her everything she loved. What would happen to her marriage if things continued in this way? And how could she be a mother to her young children if she remained trapped in this cycle of abuse? Deciding she had to make a change, Kim threw herself into a new life of sobriety seven months into the Covid-19 pandemic. But only after severing the chains of bondage did she realize how much work there was still to do. Opening the doors to buried memories and past traumas was only the beginning. Throughout her journey to sobriety, Kim would come to terms with the secrets and lies told by her parents and loved ones, allowing her a clarity and freedom she never before thought possible. MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK On the Edge of Shattered is Kimberly Kearns’ story of her own alcohol addiction. Kearns doesn’t sugarcoat anything, you will get the raw truth of what her life was like as an alcoholic. And it sure wasn’t the pretty picture Hollywood gives us. They make it look as though everyone is doing it, why not me. I’m thankful that Kearns was willing to put her story out there for all to see, not for people to bash her about it, but for those in the same place she was to be able to find help as well. It’s not easy to read parts of the book, but they are important so readers can see the whole picture. Thank you goes to this author. I pray that everyone seeing or reading her story will find the hope Kearns found. If this is something you need help with, please follow her advice.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

Kimberly Kearns knows her alcohol addition is out of hand, but she keeps hiding it from her family. She’s still ok, she doesn’t need someone who tells her she needs help. She knows what she is doing, she can stop drinking if she wants too. Can’t she?
On the Edge of Shattered By Kimberly Kearns is a book everyone going through an addiction should read. Kearns is telling of her addiction to alcohol, but I believe it can help a host of people with any addiction. In this book, Kearns is open and honest in what she tells about herself and thr dark moments she had as an alcoholic. Her story is not what the world tries to tell us. Almost everywhere we look there is someone drinking or talking about drinking. Like it’s so much fun. Like happy hour. TV and movies make it look like it’s the best way to go. But Kimberly Kearns let’s the world in on her life as an alcoholic. She shares the deep down raw emotions of what it’s really like, and what it was like to kick this addiction. It wasn’t always a pretty picture. But her life is now beautiful because she is no longer a slave to her addiction called alcohol. This book is Five Stars for me. I appreciate Ms. Kearns so much for telling her story. If you find yourself in the same place as this author, read this book over and over. And do whatever you need to find help. I highly recommend On the Edge of Shattered By Kimberly Kearns.
