What's inside
Six chapters covering the full arc of going dry:
- Assessing your current relationship with alcohol
- How drinking, and not drinking, affects your daily life
- Setting short- and long-term goals
- Noticing and celebrating the benefits as they arrive (better sleep, more money, more free time)
- Planning ahead for challenges and social situations
- Discovering new experiences and pastimes that don't involve booze
Prompts and exercises throughout. Write-in workbook format.
Good to know
Works for Dry January, Sober October, a specific health goal, or just genuine sober curiosity, no commitment required. The tone is witty and warm, not clinical. Equally useful for someone cutting back (damp) as for someone going fully dry. A solid gift for the person in your life who's been thinking about it but hasn't started yet.
Swizzle's Take: This is the workbook version of the conversation we have at the shop every week. Now people can take it home and keep going with it.
