Description

Are you tired of hangovers? Do you wish you could think more clearly during the day or feel less anxious at night? Are you curious about that #soberlife? Many of us want to cut back on our drinking-or even stop altogether. But in a culture that glamorizes the cocktail hour, "white wine playdates," and boozy brunches, you might wonder, What would I do instead? If you're ready for a change, this go-to guide has the answer.

50 Ways to Soothe Yourself without Alcohol offers surprisingly simple lifestyle skills grounded in mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you destress, reclaim your calm, and feel more vibrant in your day-to-day life-without alcohol. If you're stuck in a drinking rut and in need of a wellness reset, you'll love how empowered and energetic you'll feel when you reach for this book instead of a drink.

“Stress is one of the biggest stumbling blocks to creating a life without alcohol. The challenge that Rebecca Williams skillfully tackles in her book, Simple Ways to Unwind without Alcohol, is learning to take the edge off our day with better habits. This approach brilliantly puts less emphasis on eliminating alcohol, and more on integrating new behaviors that basically crowd out drinking with healthy behavior changes with lasting impact.”
—Kristen Manieri, host of the 60 Mindful Minutes podcast, and author of Better Daily Mindfulness Habits

“Post-pandemic, rebooting life mindfully back to health is a special gift. This is a complete guide to examining your inner and outer environments by slowing down, being compassionate to yourself, and becoming your own best friend.
