Relatable and Life Changing
Alcoholism is a pretty standard trait in my family - it can be traced back for generations. Do I consider myself an alcoholic? No. But boy, did some of the characteristics pointed out in this book shake me to the core.This book isn’t just for those who have a problem with alcohol…it is also for those that don’t want to drink, but feel the culture doesn’t really allow for that.There are so many good aspects of this book - psychological and physiological affects of alcohol, how to use SMART goals to refrain, breaking the cycle and the habit, questions to ask yourself to get to the root of why you drink, activities to participate in to address your issues…this book hits on things you never considered before. Trust me.Well written and easy to read, with step by step instructions on how to get out of the drinking cycle - do yourself and your body a favor and read this! You will be glad that you did!

Highly Recommended!
Sober on A Drunk Planet by Sean Alexander is a great book if you need help to stop consuming alcohol. I don’t drink; however, there is great advice in this book for many addictions that aren’t alcohol related. As a counselor, I would also recommend this book to my clients who have difficulty controlling their drinking. On of my favorites chapters is The Sober Child: Emotional Intelligence and How to Apply It. As Mr. Alexander points out in chapter 3, alcohol is a “numbing agent” for our emotions. You can’t recognize or feel your emotions if you numb them with alcohol. Alcohol can make you emotionally immature, but the good news is “you can develop emotional intelligence at any age.” I highly encourage anyone struggling with addiction to read the entire book, possibly more than once if needed.

Sobriety Support Supplement Essentials!
For those who are in the sober life- anything that can help you get out of the cycle and realize the root patterns and figure out how to re-wire who you were to who you can be without the drinking.As someone who has many family members who struggle with alcohol, this is another tool that I will pass along to offer in their journey to do their best.There are a lot of folks that AA is not quite enough or doesn't work for them (and that's okay) as sobriety and doing better isn't a one size fits all situation. What matters is finding healthy tools and coping mechanisms that enrich and benefit your life and the wiser choices you want to make.Sobriety for those who struggle with alcohol is a difficult road, and anything to make that road easier to tackle in a healthy way is a major plus in my eyes.

Great read
This book isn't just for those dealing with an addiction but also for those who simply choose to not want to drink. In today's society, I feel that it is even harder to be sober and not be questioned or just be able to enjoy activities without being pressured to drink. This book lays out a solid foundation for anyone to start their sobriety journey/lifestyle and points out the many benefits.

Staying sober has always been a challenge for me, but thanks to this book, I have been able to overcome obstacles and successfully manage my life. I am now celebrating almost 2 months of sobriety, and I owe it all to this incredible book! Kudos to the author,

Good read no matter your relationship with alcohol
I’m not quite at the point where I want to give up drinking entirely, but I still picked up this book because I want to cut way down on the amount that I drink. Of course I knew the basics of why drinking isn’t good for you, but this book really helped to explain the psychological benefits of staying sober. I found it especially interesting to read about the ego sections, since I have relatives with alcohol problems and that really resonated. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to make alcohol a smaller part of their life - or eliminate it entirely.

An insightful practical tool for achieving and maintaing sobriety.
I read this as a follow up to Sean Gay’s first book “Sober on a Drunk Planet”. This book concentrates on giving you the necessary three tools, not only to achieve sobriety, but to continue living a sober life : Self Awareness, Positive Action and Intuition. This book displays the same down to earth non judgemental and humourous as the first but concentrates on the deeper issues of why we drink alcohol and that in discovering the reasons why we drink, have a better knowledge and opportunity to continue sobriety and embrace a positive life.A must read for those of us who are struggling with alcohol issues.

Outstanding informative easy read just like the first.
Sean has done it again with this easy to follow and incredibly helpful book. Following on with more helpful tips and scientific facts to help people who struggle on daily basis. Nice to have these both loaded on my Kindle so i can go back and read certain chapters and paragraphs again to give me the boost i sometimes need.

Valuable self help, so glad I bought this book
This was an easily understood, educating and helpful book. Some of the sections really did inform me about things I really wasn’t aware of. The self awareness it asks you to consider and the tools and advice it gives you are priceless. I would recommend this book to anyone, even people who consider themselves ‘normal’ drinkers. I wish I’d read it 10 years ago, it would have made those years a whole lot easier.
