The book is designed for those who are already sober and provides specific strategies for maintaining sobriety during the often perilous holiday season.
Early reviews of the book are glowing:
"This is a great book for anyone trying very hard not to drink during the holidays, or even for the spouse/ brother/ aunt etc of anyone that is trying not to drink.
It is very obvious that the author is speaking from a place of experience, and she shares several personal tips that have helped her.
I also liked this books take on AA, I have never really thought about it before, but the book basically says that AA does not work because it focuses on shaming and negatives. You sit in a dank, dark basement and constantly talk/ hear about the lowest times in your life. I actually really agree with that, and staying focused on the positives.
This book provides a lot of helpful tips on avoidance, and staying away from things that you associate with drinking. It is good, sound advice. The book also includes a short quiz and plenty of contact numbers you can call to receive help.
Overall a great read, very eye opening."
"This is a really helpful book which outlines real and practical
strategies that make staying sober during the holiday season easier and
empowering. The advice was very well explained, and easy to understand. I
could see how it is definitely backed up by research and makes sense.
This is a book that has definitely raised my confidence. Highly
recommended."
Buy a copy for yourself or as a nice sign of support to a friend or loved one who has built sobriety and might benefit from a little confidence boost to keep their commitment to staying booze free through the holidays.
