Description
From Whiskey to Water is a raw and deeply honest memoir by South African radio personality Sam Cowen. In this candid and courageous story, Sam opens up about her long-hidden battle with alcohol addiction, her struggles with food, and the surprising new obsession that ultimately set her free — marathon swimming. Told with her trademark wit and self-deprecating humour, this is not just a story of recovery but one of rediscovery.
Far from a simple “how I quit drinking” tale, From Whiskey to Water dives into the messy, beautiful process of facing one’s demons head-on — from fear and shame to transformation and triumph. With refreshing honesty, Cowen explores the complexities of addiction, the comfort of coping mechanisms, and the healing power of perseverance and passion.
This inspiring memoir will resonate with anyone who’s ever fought their own battles or sought light after darkness — a must-read for those who love true stories of resilience and hope.
