Not Even Wine With Dinner

Not Even Wine With Dinner

Hey friends! It's Kristen Crisp here. I'm your middle-aged friend, talking about how I navigated a weird life of drinking, sobriety, love, and loss. All wrapped up in an ADHD brain full of chaos, kindness, and a heavy dose of sarcasm. In 2022, my big sister Robin died of cirrhosis after hiding her alcoholism so well that we were caught off guard by her death. This prompted me to start the NEWWD movement (great anagram, isn't it?). A place to bring a little insight with a touch of humor to humans over 50 through stories and information about wellness, sobriety, life, love, and loss.
