The popular actress about her recovery from alcohol addiction
Mimi Fiedler is beautiful, talented and successful — and German TV can hardly be imagined without her. Thanks to her fun-loving personality, she is not only a popular talk show guest but also an example for many. But for a long time it was not generally known that the likable actress was suffering a secret alcohol addiction for nearly 30 years and that she regularly lost control of her life. She kept up outward appearances — and at the same time was becoming increasingly sick. Today, she has found a way out of her addiction and in this book, she recounts unsparingly and openly her life with alcohol — she goes in search of why it happened and in doing so does not only encounter her demons and trauma, but also the life of her ancestors. The touching life story of a woman, who had managed to escape alcohol, and a declaration of love to life.
