No Membership Required

She spent her childhood surviving the people who were supposed to protect her.
She spent her adolescence hiding trauma she didn't have the words for.
And she spent her adulthood drowning the pain in a bottle she couldn't put down.

No Membership Required is the unflinching, intimate life story of a woman who rises from the ashes of abuse, addiction, failed love, lost jobs, and self-destruction. It follows her from the terror of a violent first-grade classroom, to the silence of a home that refused to believe her, to the men and friendships that mirrored her wounds—and then through every raw step of building herself back from nothing.

Told in stark, vulnerable first-person chapters, this fictional biography is not a glossy recovery tale. It is the slow, visceral truth of healing: breaking toxic ties, facing the past without flinching, surviving relapse, learning to stand alone, and rebuilding a life one quiet morning at a time.

No applause.
No grand confessions.
No groups she has to fit into.

Just a woman, sober and awake, finally belonging to herself.

Tender, brutal, honest, and deeply human, No Membership Required is a story for anyone who has ever believed they were too broken to begin again.
