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.

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?'

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.

My name is Craig Beck and I am the Internet's foremost expert in helping people quit drinking alcohol. I have already helped thousands of people just like you get back in control of their drinking or stop completely. I understand how it feels to be worried about your drinking because for nearly 20 years I struggled with my own addiction. I tried everything to stop drinking alcohol from creating silly rules about what I was "allowed" to drink and going through torturous "dry months" to taking dangerous prescription-only medication!Absolutely nothing I tried worked until I dramatically changed my thinking.

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.

Publisher's Summary
Are you too tired and fed up with the routine of drinking, and want to make a change and improve your life? Or you may simply be curious about how an alcohol-free life might look for you. Could it be better? Happier? Calmer? More peaceful?
The Sober Survival Guide is a unique quit-alcohol book and is split into two parts. The first is designed to set you up for success and put you in a place where you can find freedom from alcohol. The first part of the book contains essential information for when you're in the early stages of controlling your drinking. The second part serves as a handbook as you move forward into an alcohol-free life. As you listen, you'll see I've used my own experiences and those of the people I've worked with to help ensure you're ready for the challenges, fears, and questions that will come up in the years after quitting drinking.
You'll learn how to handle the work Christmas party without a glass of bubbly in hand, the joys of sober holidays, what to do when you stop drinking but your partner won't, and a whole lot more.
This unique quit-alcohol book also shares my own stories and personal accounts that helped me learn (sometimes the hard way). Part memoir, part sober guide, and 100 percent alcohol-free, The Sober Survival Guide is perfect for anyone looking to free themselves from the grip of alcohol.

Chronicle of humble bragging and platitudes
I suppose the question is, do you want to hear about Simon Chapple's successful business ventures and minutiae about his relationships with clients? Chapple and all his BS about 'success' is not only obnoxious, it's nihilistic and extremely unhelpful unless you too want to quit drinking in order to become Steve Jobs

Didn’t love it
Basically rehashing info from Annie Grace’s This Naked Mind & The Alcohol Experiment. Just read those books.
I found it difficult to distinguish if the author was quoting someone from a Facebook post or it was his own story. Via audio, this was annoying.
Didn’t love the narrator’s voice either.
