Whiskey Prayers and Midnight Moments

Whiskey Prayers and Midnight Moments is a raw, lyrical memoir of survival, rupture, and rebirth-an exploration of bipolar disorder, addiction, grief, and healing written in the space where trauma meets faith, fire, and the audacity to rebuild.

This memoir is not about perfection. It is about reckoning, refinement, and reclaiming a life piece by piece.

Told through the lived experience of a Black woman navigating manic highs, soul-crushing lows, and the long discipline of recovery, JAI Lewis writes from inside the chaos-not looking back safely from the other side.

Healing here is nonlinear. Faith wrestles with fear. Survival teaches timing.

What emerges is not a polished redemption story, but the beauty of becoming. A life forged through fire, loss, and relentless self-truth.

This is not survival wrapped in sentiment.

This is survival claimed.

Through therapy, self-education, and what she calls soul work, Lewis began rebuilding her life from the inside out-learning that it is possible to live fully without pretending to be untouched by the storm.
