“Dina Kucera has demonstrated amazing courage by writing this memoir about the effects of alcoholism and drug abuse on a family. Her background as a comedienne helps to soften the painful stories she shares in her honest and open point of view. “
–Becky in CA
Here’s the set-up:
Everything I Never Wanted to Be is the true story of a family’s battle with alcoholism and drug addiction. Dina’s grandparents were alcoholics, her father was an alcoholic, she is an alcoholic and pill addict, and all three of her daughters struggle with alcohol and drug addiction–including her youngest daughter, who started using heroin at age fourteen. Dina’s household also includes her husband and his unemployed identical twin; a mother who has Parkinson’s Disease; a grandson who has cerebral palsy; and other people who drift in and out of the household depending on their employment situation or rehab status.
On top of all that, Dina is trying to make it as a stand-up comic and author so she can quit her crumby job as a grocery store clerk. Through it all, Dina does her best to hold her family together, keep her faith, and maintain her sense of humor. Everything I Never Wanted to Be
is an uplifting story that contains valuable lessons.
is an uplifting story that contains valuable lessons.
One Reviewer Notes:
“I have never read a funnier heartbreaking tale of a family’s struggles. It had me laughing my face off in one moment and crying in sympathy the next. I never knew that someone’s personal hell could be so hilariously told to me. I felt her pain, but as she says, if you can’t make a joke of it, you’ll never survive. If you’ve ever suffered from addiction or had a loved one suffer through it, this is definitely something you’ll want to pick up and read. It gave me so much insight on my own life as well as what some of my loved ones must be going through. I came away with a positive attitude and realized what Dina said is true. If you can’t laugh at yourself and look to the future with a positive attitude, you’ll never survive.“

About the Author
Dina Kucera was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. After completing a project to collect and identify fifty insects, she graduated from the ninth grade and left school for good. Her first job was a paper route, and she has worked as a maid, bartender, waitress, and grocery store checker. When it comes to awards, she was once nominated for a Girl Scout sugar cookie award, but she never actually received the award because her father decided to stop at a bar instead of going to the award ceremony.

She currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona.
