Story
What could possibly be “lucky” about addiction? Absolutely nothing, thought Laura McKowen when drinking brought her to her knees. As she puts it, she “kicked and screamed . . . wishing for something - anything - else” to be her issue. The people who got to drink normally, she thought, were so damn lucky. But in the midst of early sobriety, when no longer able to anesthetize her pain and anxiety, she realized that she was actually the lucky one. Lucky to feel her feelings, live honestly, really be with her daughter, change her legacy.

Do you use substances or engage in compulsive activities to regulate your mood?

Story
In a culture where sipping "rosé all day" is seen as the epitome of relaxation, "grabbing a drink" the only way to network; and meeting at a bar the quintessential "first date", many of us are left wondering if drinking alcohol really is the only way to cultivate joy and connection in life. Jardine Libaire and Amanda Eyre Ward wanted to live spontaneous and luxurious lives, to escape the ordinary and enjoy the intoxicating. Their drinking, however, had started to numb them to the present moment instead of unlocking it.

It’s the nagging question more and more of us are finding harder to ignore, whether we have a “problem” with alcohol or not. In the face of how we care for ourselves otherwise, it’s hard to avoid how alcohol really makes us feel: terrible. How different would our lives be if we stopped drinking on autopilot? If we stopped drinking altogether? Frank, funny, and always judgment-free, Sober Curious is a bold guide to choosing to live hangover-free, from Ruby Warrington, one of the leading voices of the new sobriety movement.

Like many women, Clare Pooley found the juggle of a stressful career and family life a struggle, so she left her successful role as a managing partner in one of the world's biggest advertising agencies to look after her family. She knew the change wouldn't be easy, but she never expected to find herself an overweight, depressed, middle-aged mother of three who was drinking more than a bottle of wine a day and spending her evenings Googling 'am I an alcoholic?'

Story
Fifteen million Americans a year are plagued with alcoholism. Five million of them are women. Many of them, like Caroline Knapp, started in their early teens and began to use alcohol as "liquid armor", a way to protect themselves against the difficult realities of life. In this extraordinarily candid and revealing memoir, Knapp offers important insights not only about alcoholism, but about life itself and how we learn to cope with it.

Story
For Sarah Hepola, alcohol was "the gasoline of all adventure." She spent her evenings at cocktail parties and dark bars where she proudly stayed till last call. Drinking felt like freedom, part of her birthright as a strong, enlightened 21st-century woman. But there was a price. She often blacked out, waking up with a blank space where four hours should be. Mornings became detective work on her own life. A memoir of unblinking honesty and poignant, laugh-out-loud humor, Blackout is the story of a woman stumbling into a new kind of adventure - the sober life she never wanted.

Publisher's Summary
You've sobered up, so now what? Do you need inpatient or outpatient rehab? Do you need rehab at all? Is 12-step recovery such as AA or NA the most effective, or are there alternatives? Is it possible to work a recovery program online? What are the best online addiction recovery resources today? How do you prevent relapse? Will life ever get easier as a person in recovery?
My name is Steve, and I’m a grateful and recovered alcoholic. If you're like me, a few years ago, when I first decided to get help, I was scared, anxious, and unsure where to start. The thought of never drinking at social events and having to face everything and everyone clean and sober scared the hell out of me. Going online didn’t help either with the overwhelming amount of conflicting information about which recovery paths and programs to avoid or follow.
I had many questions about how to stay sober, completely recover from addiction, and improve my life. Chances are you have similar questions and concerns, so I’ve compiled all the mistakes and lessons learned from myself and hundreds of other recovering alcoholics and addicts to take the guesswork out of the recovery process, and educate and empower you to carve a recovery path that works for you.
This is the audiobook I wish I’d had when I first sobered up. It's taken me more than three years to figure out what truly works to stay sober and succeed at life, and I'll give you one hint now: there’s not one, but actually several paths to freedom from addiction and a life beyond your wildest drunken dreams.
In Sobered Up, so Now What? you will find:
- The 3-D sobriety approach to recovery to not only stay sober, but succeed in every area of life
- How to choose the best addiction recovery programs
- Learn to identify a healthy versus unhealthy meeting/program
- How to get the most out of online recovery resources
- How to design a powerful morning and evening routine
- How to discover who you truly are, your core values, and life purpose
- How to design a life plan to succeed at life in all the areas that matter to you
It’s hard enough getting sober. Don’t waste precious time and energy searching for the most effective way to beat addiction and live free.
Sobered Up, so Now What? helps you every step of the way on your journey to tapping into the peace and joy you already carry within.
Don’t wait another minute struggling alone. We’re in this together. Listen to this audiobook, follow the action steps at the end of each section, and watch the transformation begin today!

Excellent! Real steps to staying sober
I listened to this audio book in two days. I've referenced back to the action steps chapters multiple times. This book is not filled with stories of how addicts nearly ruined their lives. Rather, this book is a guide to changing your life and living clean with a purpose.

Great book of life after getting sober
I loved this book. I found Steven’s advice on not just the actions you need to do to stay sober, but also his life style suggestions that will help your entire well being. Even if your not in recovery it’s a great book. Being involved in a community of support, diet, physical fitness, reading improvement books, appreciating your family, etc.. was very helpful. When you are using whether it’s alcohol or other substances we often neglect important areas in our lives. He helps us get back on track and start living a new life that is rewarding and meaningful.
