Publisher's Synopsis
Stopping drinking isn't like a test that we pass or fail; it is more like a skill that we acquire. Getting sober doesn't just happen, we have to make it happen, and nobody can do that except ourselves. It takes effort, skill and persistence to stop drinking, and just like any other task there are some ways to do it that are more effective than others.
This book identifies what will help so that you don't need to waste time and effort on the things that won't. People talk about building a "sober toolkit" and that is what this book does. It shows you the tools that will help you stop drinking, how they work, and how and when to use them.
There are many books about alcoholism that are written to inspire the reader to try and stop drinking but very few show how it can be achieved in practical terms. This book doesn't try to tell you that you need to stop; you probably already know that. This book shows you how to do it.
