Author Sonia Grimes details her life as an alcoholic in her debut memoir, dedicated to her son and all those struggling with substance abuse.

Author Sonia Grimes considers herself a 'former professional drinker and drug taker.' For years, she fought the war between her addictions and her willpower.

Today, Grimes is sober and uses her experience to help others who are struggling with alcohol and drug addiction.

Besides being an author, Grimes is also the founder of YOUtrition, a weight loss and health consulting company applying the tactics that she uses to maintain her sobriety to help clients with food issues.

In This Isn't Me, Grimes retells her descent into alcoholism and substance abuse, how she realized she had a problem, and how she freed herself from her addictions once and for all.
