Alcohol Nation - Dr Aric Sigman

B0050C8PHS.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_SX500_Alcohol Nation: How to Protect Our Children From Today’s Drinking Culture - Aric Sigman


A real eye opener, while not so much about stopping, it really made me think about the impact drinking has on our younger generation and what we can do to stop it.

Alcohol Explained - WIlliam Porter

B00W4D1YW4.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_SX500_Alcohol Explained - William Porter
So this is way more fact than a lot of the books I’ve read, but it’s great for making you realise the reasons behind why you drink. A definite help on the way to sobriety, it really makes you see the truth of alcohol, rather than the image advertised. I wish I’d read it sooner!

Another one that could be me, showing just how common place drinking for us ‘normal’ people is. Julia has a great way of writing to show not only her struggle, but the reward at the end of it too.

Mrs D Is Going Within - Lotta Dann
It's like I'm reading this book that Lotta wrote about me! It's so weird, not only has she struggled with so many of the same anxiety issues as me, but she goes on to get a black Labrador (we have one who is ten and called Miley), but she names it Stanley, the name of my youngest son!

I love the way Lotta writes, it is down to earth and unpretentious. A good read, especially for those who are over the initial addiction and are trying to make sense of their new alcohol free lives.

Another good read. There were a few points in this book that I found difficult to read, and at times a little frustrating, but all in all a good read. It was sad to read of the judgements the author had because of her addiction and the struggle to get free but it was nice to see the author finally managing to get free of addiction towards the end.
