Reseña del libro "The Sobriety Experiment: Two Weeks to a Healthier, Happier, Younger, Slimmer You: How Moderating Your Drinking can Change Your Life (en Inglés)"
Tired of Getting Shit-faced? Kick the Drink and Enjoy Happier Hours EasilyAs a holistic therapist and the #1 bestselling author of Stress Less, Mid-Life Career Rescue and Find Your Passion and Purpose, (BCA, Dip Psych) I’ve experienced first-hand the harm alcohol can do and how people struggle to quit.I won’t lie to you. I used to love to drink. I loved the color, the texture, the taste. I don’t agree with other sobriety authors who write how horrible alcohol tastes.The booze barons know how to package alcohol so it ticks all the boxes: product, price, packaging, promotion, and place. Commonly known as the 5 P’s of marketing, alcohol manufacturers and their distributors have it down pat—and profits are soaring.But so is consumer consciousness. As with tobacco, so increasingly with booze. Alcohol tells lies masquerading as truth.Happier hours? Not if you don’t know when to stop.Increased confidence? Not if you can only find it in a glass.Sexual appeal? Not if you count the concealed calories.Skyrocketing success? Not if you count lost hours to hangovers, stress and reduced clarity.Here’s my truth:InsomniaBloatingWeight gainVomitingShameAnxietyInsecurityIsolationDepressionDramaSuicide idealizationHere’s the truth of what has happened to my clients and those closest to me:SuicideSexual abuseAlcohol-induced psychosisIncarcerationPsychiatric careDepressionAnxietyWeight-gainFinancial ruinand more, much moreI once dreamt of a world where sobriety was normalized not stigmatized. And it’s happening. Increasing numbers of people are embracing the joy of sobriety. Mind your drink? Yes, please.As movie-producer and fashion icon Tom Ford said in an interview, “It doesn’t hurt. I mean, can we talk about the drinking in London? The two glasses at lunch? The three vodka tonics you have in the evening at the office—cos you're there until eight? The two you have in the bath. Then you go out to dinner and they bring you more teeny-tiny drinks. So you're now up to 10 and then you go to a party and you're in your forties, drinking 12-13 glasses each day. And eating lettuce to stay slim. I spent so many days writing apology notes and sending flowers. It had to stop."Don’t panic. Sobriety does NOT mean abstinence. Although, that’s how some organizations like Alcoholics Anonymous define it. And that’s okay.For others sobriety means being sober—a nice glass of wine from time-to-time—but strictly no binging, puking, or getting ‘shit-faced.’ However, for a great many people abstinence is truly the only path to freedom.You don’t have to be an alcoholic to have a problem with alcohol—it’s one of the most addictive, legalized drugs on the planet.Perhaps, like me, you’re ready to break-up with alcohol and do a J. Lo and flaunt your sober glow. Maybe you’d like to join the masses who are sexier, healthier, happier and slimmer alcohol-free.Whether you’re flirting with the idea of sobriety or starting out on your sober journey, or ready to give going tee-total a whirl, you’ll find plenty of support in The Sobriety Experiment.For readers who sincerely want to stop or rescue their drinking, but struggle to quit the drink habit, this book will pave the way.Kick the drink easily. Get the ultimate stress solution. Lose the flab. Be sexier sober. In less than two weeks you’ll be on your way to a healthier, happier, wealthier life.
