At first, it was just part of your life, but as the years have passed you can’t remember the last time you went a week without a drink. You don’t feel out of control and AA isn’t for you.
Is there another way?
Not every problem drinker has lost their job, is in the gutter or has hit their own rock bottom.
So many drinkers wonder if they drink too much or too often yet do nothing about it. Whether from fear of being judged, of being called an alcoholic or of facing the truth they aren’t ready to hear, that drinking is no longer a positive part of their life.
From the author’s own story of many days waking up and saying I’m Never Drinking Again she helps you to look at your own drinking with humor, without judgement, offering only helpful practical suggestions and ideas.

My sister and I, as the children of alcoholics, talk a lot about our own alcohol consumption and I have 100% thought about stopping drinking. I'm not an alcoholic, but I definitely use it as a coping mechanism when I'm depressed. I have been badly hungover. It's miserable, especially as I've gotten older. I appreciate the content of this book and I think it's important to ask yourself occasionally if you're happy with the amount you're drinking, even if only to touch base with yourself about the reasons why you're doing it.
I will definitely look back to this book if I ever need to reconsider my relationship with alcohol and it's worth reading if you're wondering if you need to quit.
There's no shame in it, and this book does absolutely nothing to make anyone feel awful about their drinking. It's a really kind, compassionate door to a potential solution if you need one.
I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.
This may be the most helpful book I have ever read. Practical advice. I am looking forward to tomorrow for the first time in years. I am going to spend my day sober
I'm currently addicted to addiction memoirs, but this one turned out to be…not that.
There's no messy drunken behavior, no hitting rock bottom, and no deep-seated trauma to unravel. Instead, it's a concise and practical guide that invites readers to reflect on their alcohol consumption. It offers thoughtful space for introspection along with some actionable suggestions.
While the writing itself felt a bit stilted at times, and some anecdotes seemed disconnected (and sometimes completely ineffective) from the point she was trying to make, there are still valuable insights to be found. And though the book claims to be "not preachy," it does come across as a bit judgmental; but sometimes a bit of judgment can help us stay mindful of our decisions. That said, the “Pause and Reflect” sections stand out as particularly helpful.
If you've ever said, “I’m never drinking again,” only to find yourself back at it, this might be an interesting read for you.
Having just given up alcohol I’m on the look out for information. This book popped up and I’m glad I read it. The author gives real life experiences and how she dealt with them, a lot of which reflected my own. An honest book and well worth a read.
This book is a great read/listen to begin to examine your life and how addiction/alcohol affects you, those around you, your bank account, your health, etc.
I could easily relate to the ways we justify or bargain with ourselves when doing these harmful activities. Most helpful was the tip to add up how much money I've spent on my problem. Another good tip is to write myself a letter reminding myself how I badly I feel when I do it and how good I feel when I don't.
