Editorial Book Review:
By Morgan smith
After reading Dustin Dunbar's You're Doing Great!: And Other Lies Alcohol Told Me, I was astonished by the unvarnished candor and scathing humor he infuses into a journey that is anything but simple. Dunbar delves deeply into his battles with alcohol, revealing his past delusions as well as the harsh yet amusing reality he encountered when trying to become well. He doesn't sugarcoat the difficulties of sobriety or the times when he wondered if he would ever be able to escape the hold of alcohol. His narration is refreshingly honest.
What I enjoyed most was Dunbar’s ability to blend humor with vulnerability, giving the book a unique voice that’s engaging and authentic. He talks openly about the lies we often tell ourselves during tough times and the ways these lies keep us stuck. It’s not only relatable for those dealing with addiction but also for anyone facing their own personal battles. Dunbar’s insights are grounded in lived experience, making them resonate with a universal truth that many will find deeply meaningful.
Dunbar’s writing style feels like an honest conversation with a friend, someone who’s been to hell and back and is ready to share it all—without filters. He manages to laugh at himself and his past while delivering sharp insights into the grip of addiction and the resilience required to break free. This book invites you to consider your own life as well as the tales we create to help us feel "okay," even in trying circumstances.
Overall, You're Doing Great! is more than a memoir about overcoming addiction; it’s an inspiring look at the courage it takes to rewrite one’s story and face life without the comforting (but misleading) lies. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to better understand addiction, recovery, or simply the importance of facing the hard truths about ourselves. It’s a candid, inspiring story that lingers with you long after the last page.

In 2009, Dunbar was handpicked by Ryan Seacrest for LA Shrink and Endemol Productions Dallas Life Coach, where Dunbar was the “Shrink” and “Life Coach” on those pilots. After drinking moderately, responsibly, and socially for twenty years, he too became addicted to alcohol. He overcame his addiction at the age of forty-eight and has since been helping others overcome theirs. Dunbar is a coach at the Alcohol-Free Revolution, a non-profit online community helping others with alcohol addiction and raising consciousness.
