Dopamine Nation by Anna Lembke is a good one to add to the list. She talks - in simple language - about what happens to our brains when we overload them with dopamine with things like alcohol. My top picks for so er books are: Quit Like a Woman This Naked Mind Dopamine Nation Been sober now for 9 months. Never slept better!

Starting again. This time last year I was filled with hangziety after heavy day drinking and remember thinking what does alcohol even bring to my life. I went through periods of abstinence and have significantly cut down since last year but do always feel anxious after drinking even if I just had two drinks. A year later im asking the same. What does alcohol bring to my life? Day 2 sober

Thank you for being an inspiration to many,being able to reach many followers with your words of encouragement.Hi to Rollo.

[@eyeswideopenpod]

I've never read any of these. Thanks for the recommendations! 💖

[@missdanitinks]

Unexpected joy of being sober is literally life changing. Such a good book and I agree Catherine has a way with words. I've just ordered Quit like a woman by Holly Whitaker which seems a popular choice too and will hopefully help further x

[@DrAlexGeorge]

Such a wonderful book! I've added Quit Like a Woman to my list, thank you ❤

[@jeansmith3367]

Have read 3 of those books, plus This Naked Mind by Annie Grace - basically how we've been conditioned by society and those in the marketing of alcohol to think alcohol is a good thing. Also William Porter Alcohol Explained, how alcohol affects every aspect of your body and mind. I love The Chimp Paradox - just got Prof. Peters book A Path through the Jungle which I haven't read yet. These videos are going to be so helpful - Dry January is a few days away and hopefully many can go beyond it x

[@DrAlexGeorge]

thank you, I will add Alcohol Explained to my list! ❤

I’m super curious about giving up drinking, def going to order some of these books. Thanks for this x

I decided to take a 3 month break when I was 55. Three and a half years on and I haven’t look back and the benefits just keep on coming. My favourite book was Quit Like Girl by Holly Whitaker followed closely by the Unexpected Joy of Being Sober.

[@DrAlexGeorge]

That's brilliant! thank you, I will add Quit Like a Girl to my list ❤

[@dianabrowninvestigates]

I’ve just turned 56 and stopped drinking 3 months ago without any sort of plan or long term aim…I’m definitely not going to drink for the rest of the year and maybe I won’t drink again - I’m reluctant to say to anyone that I don’t want to drink again because I can already see the eye rolling, and then if I do ever drink again I know some people who’ll be really gratified I failed - not everyone, but I know which ones will be glad to see me fail. Weirdly, my husband isn’t really talking about it (he only drinks moderately at the weekends), but he does keep bringing me interesting non-alcoholic drinks from M&S! I’m currently reading Quit Like a Girl.

[@dianabrowninvestigates]

Lynn, how long did it take for you to feel joy/pleasure in things again? I know that I feel better than I did, but I’m emotionally very flat and haven’t managed to feel motivated, energetic or joyful yet.

[@dianabrowninvestigates]

Edit : Quit like a Woman!

[@sofiafernandatorresgarcia9227]

Of course I have to read them all ❤️👍👍👍

[@DrAlexGeorge]

So good! Hope you enjoyed mine the most 😉

[@pennyk4512]

'Kick the drink easily' by Jason Vale is an amazing read! This just busts every myth and excuse for taking a drink. It really gives a whole new perspective on drinking culture that society has immersed themselves in. Helped me no end make the decision that it really is poison and totally unnecessary to be a part of your life if that is your personal preference. 2 yrs booze free and best thing i ever did! Defo recommend!

[@DrAlexGeorge]

Congratulations on two years sober that's amazing! I've added kick the drink easily to my list, thank you so much!

[@kelseylewis9678]

I’ve read a few of the recommended books but also Quit Like A Woman by Holly Whitaker. It may be titled Quit Like A Woman but it’s brilliant for anyone interested in the marketing of alcohol and how it’s manipulated society (lots of which is aimed at women). Also how AA and the term alcoholic can be so dangerous for our mental health. Some of the stats in this book blew my mind! Your videos are great - keep them coming! 🫶

[@DrAlexGeorge]

I'm going to have to read Quit Like A Woman, it sounds brilliant!❤

I’ve been an on and off drinker for a while and I’ve even had years of sobriety. I have to say it’s a nice way to live! Starting another alcohol free stint at the moment. I try not to put a set time on it- it takes away the feeling of failure if you do have a drink 😁

[@DrAlexGeorge]

Great advice ❤️

I went sober at 30 and it was the best decision ever for me. However, I do sometimes find it lonely now as I feel like I can’t relate to a lot of people and I often fear people might think I’m boring.

[@pennyk4512]

Being sober is far from being boring, it is being free! Embrace it and feel proud of yourself, hangover free and clear headed. Wasting days of your life feeling like crap is boring lol

[@DrAlexGeorge]

Penny said it as well as I could - you've got this! You're free and clear headed! 💙

The Naked Mind : Annie grace - really good podcast also :)

[@DrAlexGeorge]

That’s an awesome suggestion!

[@BRA1RS]

When trying to quit or cut down on drinking it is useful to learn the truth about alcohol. Someone mentioned Annie Grace, and her book This Naked Mind, which is great for this and also William Porter’s Alcohol Explained. When you know what it really does to your body and brain, you can’t un know it, and this really helps with mindset. You then don’t get so much FOMO only JOMO (the joy of missing out) 😊

[@DrAlexGeorge]

I love the term JOMO! 💙

[@drewstephenson8138]

Alcohol Explained by William Porter is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the science behind what alcohol does to our brain and how and why people develop alcohol dependancy!

[@vickyjennings8976]

The Naked Mind by Annie Grace was the book that made me question everything! Highly recommend xx

Did you read any book where somebody described their experiences with ADHD? I read one at the university and that could be very interesting to you, I do not have anything to recommend with alcohol but I read one about drug addiction and it was said because girl described all bad situations that happened to her, I would have to check the names of those books if somebody is interested
