Quitter: KCRC gets Real with Author Erica Barnett

KCRC Presents was honored to host Erica Barnett this month for a community conversation and reading from her new book Quitter: A Memoir of Drinking, Relapse, and Recovery.

Erica C. Barnett is an award-winning political reporter. She started her career at the Texas Observer, the venerable progressive magazine co-founded by Molly Ivins, and went on to work as a reporter and news editor for the Austin Chronicle, Seattle Weekly, and The Stranger. She now covers addiction, housing, poverty, and drug policy at her blog, The C Is for Crank. She has written for a variety of local and national publications, including The Huffington Post, Seattle Magazine, and Grist.

One thing she hopes people will take from her book:

“If you do relapse, you don’t lose what you gained. You still have everything that you learned. That’s true whether you’ve been sober for 5 years or 2 days, or whatever recovery means for you. You can always keep trying. The only failure is to stop trying.”

Erica Barnett
