The book
Still Standing, Slightly Sweaty
This is a book about a girl who grew up surrounded by drunks and thought it was normal. About the woman who got sober at 29 and thought that was the hard part. And about the forty-something who found out it wasn’t.

Hi, I’m Chrystal.
Most days I’m barely keeping it together. And at the same time, I’m more in the moment and more grateful than I’ve ever been in my life. I’ve definitely got my shit, and I’m still happy. Both of those are true. That’s kind of the whole point.
