Publisher's summary

"Giving up" alcohol might sound daunting...but what are you actually giving up when you're hungover on the sofa all day? Cutting out the booze can transform your life in unexpected ways.

We live in a culture that celebrates alcohol use as if it were somehow different from the drugs we place legal restrictions on.

We mark every occasion with alcohol, whether it's a good day, bad day, new job, old job, divorce, wedding, funeral, birthday, holiday and the list goes on and on…you can always guarantee that someone, somewhere, is getting drunk…and it's "normal" to get drunk right?

Alcohol is the one drug that if we have too much of it we are shamed for our behaviour, but if we decide not to drink, we are classed as boring. We live on a drunk planet.

Our love of alcohol is holding us back. Think about the last time you had a drink–even if you weren't conscious of a hangover, you probably felt some effects.

Perhaps your head was a bit cloudy, or you took longer to get going in the morning.

Perhaps you were tired and reaching for the snacks to keep you going at the end of the day.

Maybe you had hopes and dreams before alcohol became a regular occurrence.

Alcohol is expensive, and it has side effects that go far beyond just having a headache the next day.

Imagine the difference in your life if you were to take those side effects away and save the money to fund what you really want to do with your life–and there's a strong chance it involves something a whole lot more fulfilling than a glass of wine or bottle of beer.

Sober on a Drunk Planet: Giving Up Alcohol recognizes how difficult it is to break free of drinking culture and provides you with all the motivation you need to kickstart a new life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Freeing and Healing

I was trying to understand my brothers alcohol problem. I listen a few books, this being the latest. I drink but I'm a normal drinker and I wanted my brother to be normal too, so we could enjoy drinking together. I didn't want to quit. I liked beer. The smell, the taste and the sound of it pouring into a glass. It was golden goodness. But now, thanks to this book, I have quit drinking and I don't like beer anymore. I'll be very surprised if I ever drink again. I don't even think about it and it's really strange. So thanks a lot you've ruined my relationship with alcohol. Now what?

A Must listen if u want 2 know how/why to be sober

I don't drink "much" lol, but I know for sure there are countless times I've regrated picking up that bottle. This book has not only provided me with the consequences of drinking but also provided a sustainable strategy to be 100% sober. I totally recommend it.

so helpful

This book is so informative and provides guidance on what to look forward to and enjoy on your journey in sobriety. It provided real, no BS examples and explanations of what to expect. I love the narrator and delivery of the book as well!

Great book on sobriety

This book discussed the difficulties becoming and staying sober in this world. Alcohol and drugs are so pervasive it is hard to stay sober. This book will help you get and stay sober.

Excellent book!

This is a top, top audibook. Finally a clear and honest book about the benefits of giving up a bad habit. would recommend!

Really inspiring and helpful

Thank you for writing this book I can relate to it in many ways. I'm a mom of three so it is different for me but this book is still very helpful and I appreciate it.

Just what I needed

If you’ve been fighting with yourself on whether or not to quit drinking, this definitely put me in the right direction.

Highly Motivating

I was highly motivated and decided to get sober after I listened this book. It was also just the right length.

A most read if you’re starting a sober life

Not judge mental or preachy! Very relatable and easy to listen to. Kept my attention.

Great Conversation Starter

I have a very close friend who has a hard time staying sober. But if I ever attempt to speak with him about it he would immediately go on the defense and get angry. I bought this book hoping it would help me to have a conversation with him without his immediate fury. I now feel that I will be able to attempt to help my friend with some well-informed points that will not sound judgmental or condescending.
