Less Drinky (ebook)

In a saturated world of alcohol recovery books, almost every one is written by someone who nearly lost everything to it. Less Drinky isn't. Lou Teasdale was never an alcoholic, has never sat in an AA meeting and has no rock-bottom story to sell — she's simply been sober for fifteen years, out several nights a week the whole time. This book is for the enormous middle: people who don't have "a problem" but want to feel sharper, calmer and more like themselves with less alcohol in their life. Thirteen short chapters on identity, dating, parenting, sex, guilt and the "comedown," paired with practical exercises adapted from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Grab a notebook, and work through it at your own pace.
