Jowita Bydlowska: Drunk Mom

After the birth of her son, Jowita Bydlowska found herself celebrating with a glass of champagne.  Just like that, her three years of sobriety were a distant memory and she began the rapid slide back to full-blown alcoholism. Jowita joins us to talk about her book DRUNK MOM, the brutally honest story of her fight to stop drinking while facing the daunting reality of becoming a mom.
