Still Standing – From Debutante to Detox abstract

This powerful and inspirational speaker is the author of Still Standing from Debutante to Detox. She offers a compelling glimpse into the life of a woman in the grip of alcoholism and anorexia by age 20. She describes her transformation into a highly respected member of the community, known internationally for her work in substance abuse education. I find it hard to comprehend how she managed to stay alive. Her story is a deeply moving, starkly honest account of her early, privileged upbringing in New Zealand and her rapid and heart- breaking descent into the madness of active alcoholism. Her story charts her journey from madness to gladness by mixing with and being supported by people in the community who had found a way to stop drinking and stay stopped. She blends humour to counterbalance the serious nature of her story of survival. Her book available at www.fishpond.co.nz
