My Fair Junkie by Amy Dresner Book Summary
In the tradition of Blackout and Permanent Midnight, a darkly funny and revealing debut memoir of one woman's twenty-year battle with sex, drugs, and alcohol addiction, and what happens when she finally emerges on the other side.
Growing up in Beverly Hills, Amy Dresner had it all: a top-notch private school education, the most expensive summer camps, and even a weekly clothing allowance. But at 24, she started dabbling in meth in San Francisco and unleashed a fiendish addiction monster. Soon, if you could snort it, smoke it, or have sex with, she did.
Smart and charming, with Daddy's money to fall back on, she sort of managed to keep it all together. But on Christmas Eve 2011 all of that changed when, high on Oxycontin, she stupidly "brandished" a bread knife on her husband and was promptly arrested for "felony domestic violence with a deadly weapon."
Within months, she found herself in the psych ward--and then penniless, divorced, and looking at 240 hours of court-ordered community service. For two years, assigned to a Hollywood Boulevard "chain gang," she swept up syringes (and worse) as she bounced from rehabs to halfway houses, all while struggling with sobriety, sex addiction, and starting over in her forties.
In the tradition of Orange Is the New Black and Jerry Stahl's Permanent Midnight, Amy Dresner's My Fair Junkie is an insightful, darkly funny, and shamelessly honest memoir of one woman's battle with all forms of addiction, hitting rock bottom, and forging a path to a life worth living.

Emotional and Raw!. I needed this! Thank you, Amy!
Great read. Very exciting and entertaining. Well written. If you are an addict or alcoholic, definitely read the book. If you aren’t, read it too.
Absolutely wonderful!!. I had heard her on a podcast -Dopey before but never read her book, because frankly, IM NOT A READER!! Until I picked this up. I had it read in 1 and a half days! Way to go! I loved it!
Good recovery. Great book if your trying to stay clean. I have been clean 10+ years and have tried several attempts to tell my story. I’m huge into self help recovery books.
Just sad and gross. A horrible example of a real lack of recovery. Just a shock value book that leaves you feeling dirty for even reading it.
My fair junkie. Soooooo important
Just “okay”. The ending was intriguing and interesting, but the book sort of rambled and dragged on a lot with no real direction
Don’t waste your money.. The story of how a lady screws up her life by trying to get attention and then decides to write a book looking for more attention. I can’t believe this was recommended to me and I’m even more disappointed I read it.
Absolutely well written AND hilarious!!!. This book is a MUST READ for anyone who struggles with alcoholism and addiction. Or better yet, sober! I love her writing style and the way she is able to accurately portray the throws of addiction. I BEG you to read/listen to this book!!! ❤️😂
