RAVING REVIEW: In her revealing memoir, EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY: A STORY OF FAITH, Jenny Teeters courageously lays bare her struggle with alcoholism. The story, set against the gleaming backdrop of professional success, her narrative digs deep into the shadowy contrasts of her life, charting a journey from a seemingly enviable existence to the brink of destruction—and back.


Teeters is not just another success story; she's a true survivor. Her memoir navigates the extremes of achievement and private despair, showing that even the most polished lives can battle intense, hidden struggles. EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY offers more than just a recount of her descent into the darkness of addiction; it is an uplifting testimony to the strength required to face and fight back against one's demons.

The Twelve Steps program is central to Teeters's tale—her lifeline and framework for sobriety and personal growth. This journey isn't just about getting clean; it's about a profound internal revolution, transforming from rock bottom into a foundation for rebuilding a life of purpose and happiness. She credits this program with saving and reshaping her life entirely.

While I don't hold religious beliefs, I find a universal value in stories of faith, such as the one told in EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY. These narratives highlight the transformative power of spiritual journeys, which resonate with anyone seeking profound change. The themes of redemption, community support, and personal triumph transcend specific religious contexts, offering inspiration and applicable lessons on resilience and the human capacity to overcome adversity.

What makes EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY resonate is not solely its story of recovery but its broader implications. Teeters provides a candid look into how her addiction strained relationships and derailed her career, offering a hard-hitting look at the wider impact of her struggles. Her story catalyzes change, urging others to mend the fractures in their lives through honesty and effort.

Teeters’s memoir is a collaborative triumph, highlighting the critical role of her support network—family, friends, and the recovery community. This collective environment emphasizes that overcoming addiction isn’t a solo endeavor but a communal battle waged with the support of a dedicated squadron.

Closing on a note of hope, Teeters reinforces that redemption is within reach for anyone lost in the despair of addiction. Her narrative champions the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative potential of embracing recovery. EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY. It is more than a personal saga; it’s a guiding light for those searching for a way out of the darkness.

EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY, transcends the typical recovery story. It’s an inspirational beacon for anyone yearning to escape their shadows, illuminated by Teeters's journey and her unshakeable belief in the power of community and faith. As she extends a helping hand through her words, Teeters turns her life story into a roadmap for others, proving that the path to recovery, though rugged, is trodden with the footsteps of hope.
