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.

So good I listened to it twice!

Wow! This book really resonated with me. I’ve been grappling with my relationship with alcohol for a while (not because it’s a bad one - just because I really how dumb it is) so it was very refreshing to listen to this book and encourage me to kill it off altogether. I say that slightly hungover as I went to the pub yesterday for a few beers and not entirely happy about it. Highly recommend this book!

Super helpful and honest

I listened to this audio book at the start of my sober journey. I found it really helpful and completely relatable!
The straight talking, honest account of how you can find your way through sobriety in the alcohol planet we live in is so refreshing. It helped me to see I wasn’t alone in what Sean refers to as ‘the increasing popularity of the sober movement.’ Become the driver of your own life, take back control and listen to this!

Such a clear, helpful guide to going alcohol free

Highly recommended to anyone who’s either stopped drinking already or who’s wondering if going alcohol free is what they want to do deep down

Great book for stopping drinking

I’ve been sober for a few years and like to remind myself why I stopped by reading quit lit. This is by far one of the best audible versions available and is straight to the point. If you want a well narrated and hard hitting audible that will help you live a better life this is the one. Highly recommend.

Inspiring and Informational

I dont't have a drinking propblem personallly, but even those who aren't going through a sobrienty journey can learn a thing or 2 from this book. I love how well researched the author is in how liquor is normalized and integrated as a fuffilling "need" in society when it can actually be holding you back in your happiness or expenses. An interesting read!

A Great Help for those that struggle

I found this book and have had some struggles in the past, I decided to give it a listen. It had a lot of good insights and ways to help you overcome your issues with alcohol and how much of a drain on your finances and mindset it can have.
