Publisher's Summary

"Giving up" alcohol might sound daunting...but what are you actually giving up when you're hungover on the sofa all day? Cutting out the booze can transform your life in unexpected ways. 

We live in a culture that celebrates alcohol use as if it were somehow different from the drugs we place legal restrictions on.

We mark every occasion with alcohol, whether it's a good day, bad day, new job, old job, divorce, wedding, funeral, birthday, holiday and the list goes on and on…you can always guarantee that someone, somewhere, is getting drunk…and it's "normal" to get drunk right?

Alcohol is the one drug that if we have too much of it we are shamed for our behaviour, but if we decide not to drink, we are classed as boring. We live on a drunk planet.

Our love of alcohol is holding us back. Think about the last time you had a drink–even if you weren't conscious of a hangover, you probably felt some effects.

Perhaps your head was a bit cloudy, or you took longer to get going in the morning.

Perhaps you were tired and reaching for the snacks to keep you going at the end of the day.

Maybe you had hopes and dreams before alcohol became a regular occurrence.

Alcohol is expensive, and it has side effects that go far beyond just having a headache the next day.

Imagine the difference in your life if you were to take those side effects away and save the money to fund what you really want to do with your life–and there's a strong chance it involves something a whole lot more fulfilling than a glass of wine or bottle of beer.

Sober on a Drunk Planet: Giving Up Alcohol recognizes how difficult it is to break free of drinking culture and provides you with all the motivation you need to kickstart a new life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent Read

Thank you Sean for putting in words what I’ve been going through and more importantly, the tools and resources to move forward. I really appreciate you’re no nonsense approach to addiction and I’m incredibly proud of you and your accomplishments! I’ve read this first book three times and looking forward to the next! I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone out there who needs to hear it from someone who’s been there too.

functional read you can't put down or turn off

refreshing perspective. I wish I'd read this a year or two sooner. "I used to walk into a room and wonder if people like me, now I walk in and wonder if I like them" says it all.

Real life scenarios kept me actively listening

I really enjoyed the real life scenarios I could relate to. The most captivating part was the breakdown of what spirituality really meant. It really taught me something.

It’s a book I never would’ve listened to while I was drinking, but absolutely needed to hear in my recovery.

Great book. 10/10 recommend. DO IT. Listen to it.

A clearly written, enjoyable handbook on sobriety

Sean did a amazing job interweaving his personal experience into helpful chapters explaining how to, and the joys of, being sober. Very encouraging, and I loved his narrator's voice. I also really appreciated the length of the listen. Thank you

boring

mmm, a bit more knowledge one may have a hard time googling "sober life" would be worth my credit. a quick run down of a privileged kid who drank like everyone else.
