About the Book
Alcohol doesn’t discriminate, but it does trick many people into believing that they’re the only ones wrestling these demons.
This isn’t a typical story of someone hitting rock bottom and clawing their way to sobriety. It’s the story of a social drinker, fully immersed in our society’s rampant drinking culture, waking up to realize that life didn’t need to revolve around alcohol. It’s the story of a mom who decided she could buck convention and quit drinking before things got worse. It’s the story of a woman realizing she didn’t have to identify as an “alcoholic” to make a change and walk away from drinking for good.
Did Hadley have a problem? Absolutely, but she didn’t care if it was a problem worthy of a fancy label. She simply no longer wanted to feel ashamed of herself after drinking. She wanted to wake up each day to a life that was exactly how she had left it the night before. She wanted to feel good. Period. And now, she hopes to help other women realize they can do the same.
Highlighted are the hidden dangers of our pervasive drinking culture to help the reader realize that anyone can benefit from less (or no) alcohol. We don’t have to meet some dubious criteria in an online checklist and be labeled an alcoholic to benefit from quitting.
So many are trapped on the hamster wheel of over-indulgent social drinking. They’re following social conventions and are not physically dependent on alcohol. Still, they are drowning in booze, even if they might never teeter off the edge into the abyss of true addiction. This book aims to light the way for them by showing that life without alcohol is fulfilling and vibrant and providing practical lessons and tips for breaking free based on the author’s lived experiences.
She makes this choice seem as appealing as it is and shows an alternative to those who feel drinking is a necessary part of life. www.hadleysorensen.com
