Trinkerbelle

Mimi is beautiful, talented, and successful - an indispensable figure in the German television landscape. 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 the charming entertainer numbed her pain and guilt for almost 30 years with alcohol and regularly lost control over her life. She maintained an outward facade while becoming increasingly ill. Today, she is a recovering alcoholic and candidly shares her life with the societal drug 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, was finally able to become sober and has not had to drink since the Feast of the Assumption in 2018. "For almost thirty years, I belonged to the classic functional drinkers, although the term functional sounds a bit strange in this context. Because very little actually functioned in my life. I was always fueled up but still ran on reserve. My life was a construct of lies and cover-ups, filled with physical and emotional pain that I couldn't share with anyone - 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 that." Mimi is known from film and television and is a popular guest on talk shows. This book offers a poignant insight into her darkest times. It is a book that encourages readers to continually confront their own demons.
