Someday I Will Not Be Ashamed

Lori Lynne Armstrong’s memoir, Someday I Will Not Be Ashamed, is a raw and honest exploration of her lifelong struggle with perfectionism, mental illness, and addiction. Driven by a relentless pursuit of beauty, success, and validation, Armstrong’s journey takes readers through a whirlwind of challenges, from eating disorders and chronic pain to hospitalization and substance abuse.

With a sharp eye for detail and a deep understanding of psychology, Armstrong offers a candid and insightful account of her experiences. She doesn’t shy away from the darkest moments, revealing the devastating impact of her self-destructive behaviors. However, the book is not just a tale of despair; it’s a testament to the power of resilience and the possibility of healing.

Someday I Will Not Be Ashamed provides a much-needed perspective on the complexities of mental illness and addiction, offering hope and inspiration to those who may be struggling with similar issues.

This is not a success story. Oh, there are successes in it. A few, or many, depending on your point of view. But this isn’t ‘inspiration porn.’ This isn’t a book telling you that you can overcome anything and be whatever you want to be. This book has something to say for anyone who needs to craft a life that fits their abilities instead of one that fits society’s pressures.

Many people have conscious or unconscious ideas of how a junkie looks or talks. I look nothing like that, and I talk like the love child of a poet and a psychologist. Addicts are everywhere, and we look just like you. And we who live with mental illness are everywhere, too. Anyone you meet who looks confident on the outside may be battling symptoms or drowning in a swamp of shame.
