Most of us first knew Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia. In Wishful Drinking, she shares the complicated human story behind the fame—with sharp wit and remarkable openness.
Drawing from her one-woman show, Fisher’s memoir explores Hollywood family life, addiction, bipolar disorder, and the unexpected turns of her life. She brings humor to subjects that can be difficult to discuss. (simonandschuster.com)
For those of us walking through recovery, that willingness to speak openly matters. Shame grows in silence. An honest conversation can help someone feel less alone.
We can take our struggles seriously and still make room for laughter. We can acknowledge the hurt, accept support, and keep doing the daily work of healing.
“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2
May we listen with compassion, speak with honesty, and remember the whole person behind every struggle.
