Trinkerbelle

Mimi is beautiful, talented, and successful – an indispensable figure in German television. With her vivacious personality, she is not only a popular guest on talk shows but also a role model for many. However, what few knew for a long time is that this likable entertainer numbed her pain and guilt with alcohol for almost 30 years and regularly lost control over her life. She maintained an outward facade while becoming increasingly ill. Today, she is a sober alcoholic and candidly shares her life with the drug of the people in her book – along with the demons she believed she was fighting with it. "Trinkerbelle" is the touching and true story of a woman who, after years of struggle, has finally been able to become sober and has not had to drink since the Assumption of Mary in 2018. "I was part of the classic functional drinkers for almost thirty years, although the term functional always sounds a bit strange in this context. Because very little actually functioned in my life. I was fully loaded yet always ran on reserve. My life was a construct of lies and cover-ups, filled with physical and emotional pain that I couldn't tell anyone about – because then I would have had to admit where it came from. I wanted to live, but I didn’t want to continue living like this."

Mimi is known as Mimi Fiedler from film and television and is a popular guest on talk shows.

A touching insight into her most difficult times.

A book that encourages readers to continually confront their own demons.
