Tracy Viola (Author)
My name is Tracy, and I am a recovering addict and alcoholic.This is not something I am embarrassed about – quite the opposite. I am extremely proud to be part of the few percent of people that claw their way back out of the trenches of addiction and maintain years of recovery.Addiction doesn't care. It doesn't care if you are wealthy or poor. It doesn't care about gender or race or educational status. Nope. If addiction or alcoholism comes knocking on your door and you let it in, it will wreak havoc on your life and the lives around you. And that's what happened to me. I opened the door and that little devil slipped in, grabbing a hold of me, and whispered more, more, more... until it took everything.Until. Until I had a moment. Until I made a choice. Until I fought back minute by minute, day by day to reclaim my life. This choice I made over 28 years ago has defined my story ever since."In order to keep it, you have to give it away," is a saying I learned in recovery. And so here we are… Through tears and laughter, losses and wins, pain and pride. I hope my experience and lessons shed some light on addiction and recovery, and I hope Pretty Wrecked helps you or a loved one in some small way.Tracy Viola was born on Philadelphia’s Main Line where she still resides with her husband, two daughters and her calico cat, Olivia. She holds a BA from Villanova University and a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Temple University. Tracy has been continuously sober since February of 1996, and has been a sought-after speaker by schools and recovery centers.Pretty Wrecked is her first book.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Do you want to make a big - and lasting - life change but don't know where to start?Journey from cold city streets to the Ivy League, where Tracy proves it doesn’t matter where you start … it matters where you finish. "A tale of grit told with brutal honesty and a hefty dose of humor by the woman who lived it.

" ~ Angela Duckworth, author of "Grit", Professor, University of PennsylvaniaMy name is Tracy. I'm a recovering addict and alcoholic.

Pretty Wrecked captures the train wreck of my teenage life, but unlike other recovery memoirs it also captures the story about how I got sober and created a kick ass life. .

. a life that YOU deserve.

WHAT THIS BOOK IS NOT:· PW is NOT a free ride to change. I will motivate you and provide lessons and tools, but there is no hand holding.

YOU have to do the hard work. The tools are simple – but they are not easy…· PW is definitely rated ‘R’ – and I’m NOT going to apologize for my bluntness or cursing.

I’m not going to waste my time or YOUR time with unnecessary filters. · PW is NOT for the faint of heart.

I cover real, raw, and heartbreaking topics. Saddle up – life is gritty!· PW is NOT just a book you read and put down.

It’s a book that begs to be dog eared, highlighted, circled, and referred back to as you take these lessons and make them your own. In this gripping and unexpectedly funny debut memoir, Tracy Viola’s journey unfolds - from the darkest depths of teenage abuse and addiction to the heights of personal and professional success.

Marked by scars and illuminated by triumphs, her brave and vivid narrative skillfully blends laughter and tears. Written in a series of vignettes with 80s and 90s nostalgia throughout, Tracy paints a vivid picture of metamorphosis as she reveals the hard-learned lessons of addiction, recovery, and how to grab life by the balls.

Learn how to dig into the hard stuff and live the life YOU deserve. Grab your copy of Pretty Wrecked today!.
