Still Independently Published Still Standing Paperback

Nothing about her life looked like a problem.

She went to work.
She showed up.
>From the outside, everything looked normal.

But behind the routine... something was slowly changing.

Nights began to blur.
Mornings came with missing pieces.
>Still Standing: The Whole Story is a raw and honest memoir about what it means to lose yourself quietly-and what it takes to come back.

Through unfiltered moments of chaos, silence, and survival, Ashley Coates shares the reality of living a life that looks "fine" on the outside while unraveling underneath.

This isn't just a story about alcohol.

It's about the things we don't talk about.
The silence we carry.
The moments that change us.
>From blackouts and unanswered questions...
>This book walks through what recovery actually looks like.

Not perfect.
Not linear.
>At the heart of this story is something deeper than sobriety.

It's about friendship that doesn't leave.
It's about choosing to stay in your life when everything in you wants to escape.
>And eventually...

1,000 days of choosing differently.

If you've ever felt lost inside your own life,
if you've ever looked "okay" while struggling underneath,
>This story will stay with you.

Because in the end, this isn't just a story about surviving.

It's about learning how to live.

Perfect for readers of addiction recovery, mental health, and personal transformation memoirs, Still Standing offers a deeply relatable and powerful look at what it means to reclaim your life-one day at a time.
