"No thanks-I'm not drinking tonight." In a culture that equates alcohol with enjoyment and social acceptance, making this simple statement can make us feel like we're depriving or even punishing ourselves. "When we realize we can no longer drink safely, it can feel like the only choices are to spiral out of control or embrace a joyless life," says sobriety expert Veronica Valli. "But it's not true! Sobriety can be a path filled with fun, excitement, belonging, relaxation, and romance." Soberful offers a practical and straightforward program on how we can get sober and stay sober by increasing our self-worth, energy, and participation in life. Valli begins by debunking widespread beliefs about alcohol and sobriety-including the illusion that alcohol itself is the problem. She then focuses on the emotional skills we need to build for a fulfilling life without alcohol. Through the five pillars of sustainable sobriety-Movement, Connection, Balance, Process, and Growth-she shares effective and empowering strategies for processing the uncomfortable emotions we once numbed with alcohol. "When we change how we experience the world, we can stop trying to escape our feelings with alcohol," Valli says. Written with gentle humor and compassion, Soberful provides a road map to a life beyond drinking-one that is expansive, fulfilling, and joyously free.

A program to stop drinking, stay stopped, and develop emotional skills for a life of excitement and connection without the hangover.
