Reading list

These books are a great way to relax, find inspiration and learn from others who have been down the path of changing their relationship with alcohol.


This Naked Mind

Annie Grace

Many people question whether drinking has become too big a part of their lives, and worry that it may even be affecting their health. But, they resist change because they fear losing the pleasure and stress-relief associated with alcohol, and assume giving it up will involve deprivation and misery. This Naked Mind offers a new, positive solution...



The Alcohol Experiment

Annie Grace

Changing your habits can be hard without the right tools. Through her own journey, methodical research, and neuroscience, Annie Grace has cracked the code on habit change by addressing the specific ways habits form. Annie offers a judgment-free action plan for anyone who’s ever wondered what life without alcohol is like.




High Sobriety

Jill Stark

Jill’s first book, High Sobriety: My Year Without Booze, is a best-selling memoir exploring Australia and Scotland’s binge drinking culture, set against the backdrop of her own tumultuous relationship with alcohol. High Sobriety is a funny, moving, and insightful exploration of why we drink, how we got here, and what happens when we turn off the tap.




The Sober Diaries

Clare Pooley

This book is the story of a year in Clare's life. A year that started with her quitting booze having been drinking more than a bottle of wine every day. It sees her starting a hugely successful blog, then getting and beating breast cancer. By the end of the year she is booze free and cancer free. Sober Diaries is an upbeat, funny and positive look at how to live life to the full.




The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober

Catherine Gray

Catherine Gray was stuck in a hellish whirligig of Drink, Make horrible decisions, Hangover, Repeat. She had her fair share of 'drunk tank' jail cells and topless-in-a-hot-tub misadventures.


But this book goes beyond the binges and blackouts to deep-dive into uncharted territory: What happens after you quit drinking? This gripping, heart-breaking and witty book takes us down the rabbit-hole of an alternative reality. A life with zero hangovers, through sober weddings, sex, Christmases and breakups. In The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober, Catherine Gray shines a light on society's drink-pushing and talks to top neuroscientists and psychologists about why we drink, delving into the science behind what it does to our brains and bodies.




Alcohol Lied to Me... AGAIN!

Craig Beck

The book ‘Alcohol Lied to Me’ has helped tens of thousands of people get back in control of their drinking thanks to its unique and simple to follow message. But alcohol is the most devious and deceptive drug on planet earth and occasionally people fall back under its spell. This journey backwards virtually always starts with the same sentence being uttered: ‘Surely just one drink won’t hurt’.


Just one drink… it seems such an innocuous action that it couldn’t possibly cause any substantial drama. In reality it is the same as hoping to take just one little step off a cliff. It’s only one seemingly insignificant step but the consequences are rapid, irreversible and severe. Both events start off an unstoppable series of events.


In Alcohol Lied to Me… Again, Craig gives you the tools to once again break the cycle of alcohol addiction. You will discover why this relapse can be a good thing and how you use it to ensure you stay sober for the rest of your life.
