We live in a drinking obsessed world. We drink in baby showers and parties, brunch and book club, ceremonies, and funerals. Yet nobody challenges the ubiquity of alcohol- in reality, the one thing that has ever been questioned is why somebody isn't drinking. It's a requirement for entry, and if you don't imbue, you're an exception. As a community, we are concerned with health and well-being, but retain alcohol as some sort of magic elixir. If you're in a spiral, have you been tired of waking up every day with low levels of hangover, sick of your "booze breasts" and lack of energy? Then this book is all you need. It's HARD to stop drinking. Worse, because the WHOLE WORLD loves booze, you feel all alone! This book is a map of the road. It's not a magical short cut because there is none, but it signs you through the sobriety and helps you to live soberly (two very different things). And when are you going to be sober?
