Publisher's summary

Jack Canfield, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® franchise and coauthor of The Success Principles, and Dave Andrews, a recovery expert, join forces to present a revolutionary program to help you cut back or quit drinking entirely - in the privacy of your own home.

Alcohol kills one person every 10 seconds worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. Thankfully, now, for anyone who feels that alcohol has become a problem - and for the 23.5 million Americans living in recovery and looking to be reinspired - this new program introduces a groundbreaking model for sobriety that you can achieve in your own home.

The 30-Day Sobriety Solution grew out of Jack Canfield's decades-long work in self-esteem and success training. Its principles were carefully developed into a program by Dave Andrews and tested by thousands whose amazing stories of recovery are shared throughout the book. Organized into five phases that span 30-day periods, this book guides you through each day with practical exercises that, over time, allow you to more easily make positive choices again and again. "The Sobriety System" is an empowerment program that moves systematically from beliefs (including limiting ones) to feelings and emotions to concrete actions and behaviors that promote better outcomes.

Integrating neuroscience, cognitive therapy, proven tools, and teachings, The 30-Day Sobriety Solution is a clear, practical daily program that will help you achieve your goals - whether that's getting sober or just cutting back - and create positive, permanent change in your life.

30 Days To A Sober You

Amazing book!! Must Have. Would highly recommend it to anyone struggling with alcohol and addiction

Life Changing

Have never felt so solid in my sobriety as I did at the end of this program. Even though it took me 90 days, it was exceedingly effective.

excellent book

Best, easiest, break from alcohol I have ever taken. I cant wait to do it again.

A Key Ingredient for Me!

When it comes to problem drinking each of us needs their own recipe for success. This book was a key ingredient for me. I listened everyday and worked the solutions when time allowed. Or should I say, I let the solutions work me?! This book helped me understand the WHY of my drinking and give me the positive HOW of living sober. The companion website is loaded with helpful videos, tips, links and a forum. There were a few things that wasn't a fit for me but I gained so much more.

As part of my recipe I also listened to Kevin O"Hara's Alcohol Mastery podcasts daily. Firstly, I'm not affiliated or being paid by either of these. They were both part of my personal recipe along with exercise, diet, sleep learning/meditation and over the counter supplements. Yes that's a lot of ingredients but they each played an important role in helping me to clear my body and mind from the effects of the poison. Becoming a problem drinker wasn't the result of just one day or one thing for me. It took a lot of days and decisions to get there so I took a few to get back.

If you've tried everything with no success please don't give up. Your recipe is out there or it may even be right here in this book.

The only thing that has worked for me in 5 years!!

I have tried to quit or cut back several times in my lifetime. I have bought supplements that were supposed to reduce cravings. This book as well as the companion website fixed me. Keep in mind you can NOT just read or listen to the audio book. You have to take full advantage of the material, videos, and exercises on the website. I have 3 full journals from the exercises after each day. Putting it all down on paper really helps. Thank you Jack and Dave!

a practical, secular guide to quitting drinking

Would you listen to The 30-Day Sobriety Solution again? Why?

What other book might you compare The 30-Day Sobriety Solution to and why?

None. This book is unlike other addiction treatments I have come across.

The narrators are very passionate about the subject. They excited about the material and you can hear it in their voices.

What did you learn from The 30-Day Sobriety Solution that you would use in your daily life?

Any additional comments?

This book has changed my life for the better. I was never a daily drinking, but I definitely used to overdo it and was damaging my relationships, my career and my finances. The 30 Days Sobriety Solution is a very practical guide to getting and staying sober. You can work the program from the privacy of your own home. The book equips you with the tools you need to quit drinking and live a happy, productive life.

Highly Recommend

Where does The 30-Day Sobriety Solution rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I'd rank this book high on my list in the self-help category.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the chapter by chapter approach (as opposed to reading a whole book before being able to implement the program). As the title suggests, each chapter = one day and each day offers one solution to work on. I particularly appreciate that this book is very action oriented and each action is specifically outlined. Each "solution" builds on the previous solution and offers the tools needed to get through the 30 days and beyond.

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

What did you learn from The 30-Day Sobriety Solution that you would use in your daily life?

I learned to stop looking at the absence of alcohol as a loss and see what I gain by not having it in my life.

Any additional comments?

My only frustration in using this book is that the companion website does not deliver all that it suppose to offer. Often links lead to the wrong video or a resource mentioned is not there. I do wish that would be remedied. On the other hand, for the cost (I used 1 audible credit and purchased the book for $10.00) and time investment, I am not sure there is a more user friendly economical way to conquer the battle to drink/not drink.

Consider This

If you think (or you know) you are drinking too much or too often, consider this book. It is a whole program designed to help you determine what to do about it. You can do the work in private. They do not assume you can never drink again. It gave me priceless insights and valuable tools to address my situation.

This book changed my life

I have been grappling with my drinking for half my life. The day after a totally embarrassing drinking situation I looked up books on quitting drinking and found this one. Today I finished my day 30, and in the process learned so much about myself.

Got my life back again!

This book provides excellent & multiple tools to help you get through quiting drinking.
