  "Already an award-winning blog, Guinevere Gets Sober is as good as it gets. Filled with personal stories of her struggles with prescription drugs—as well as news, interviews, and tons of commentary on the 12 Step Program—Guinevere has the guts to take a public stand for addiction advocacy and rehab success. This plucky writer knows how to make a difference both on and off the blog, staying involved in local meetings and participation in public policy boards. She fights to reduce the stigma that prevents people from seeking treatment, and with a blog like this, she is surely succeeding."

• A bit about Guinevere

  When I decided to get sober in 2008 from a problem with prescription painkillers, I started writing under the pseudonym "Guinevere." An ancient Welsh name meaning "white" or "fair," Queen Guinevere—though lovely, powerful, and rich—still lied and cheated to satisfy her desires. A writer by habit and profession, I started this blog to look at the issue of addiction in the culture. I'm especially interested in reducing the social stigma that prevents people from getting timely help. I love books, film, and art, and I've got a stack of media old and new that I'll be reviewing here, along with the ongoing appearance of addiction and recovery in the news ... and of course I'll be telling good stories. Please share your comments here, or email me at guinevere (at) guineveregetssober.com.
