My goodness. Thando Pato has been through A LOT, and she has left it all on the pages of her 'sober lit' memoir, On The Rocks: Memoir of a High-Functioning Alcoholic.  I invited her to come and share her multiple journeys, from her toxic relationship with alcohol, battling to accept she is an alcoholic because of the shame and self-shame attached to the word; to her diagnosis of breast cancer, quite apart from anxiety and depression, and an addiction to sugar, and so much more... Many of us who project and perform success and functionality will see ourselves in parts of her story and her journey. You really should buy the book but in the meantime enjoy - not that that is the right word - this candid, generous and authentic conversation she had with me.
