One-Minute Book Review

The Alcohol Experiment: A 30-Day, Alcohol-Free Challenge To Interrupt Your Habits and Help You Take Control – by Annie Grace

We previously reviewed this author’s “This Naked Mind”, which explored the psychological and sociological aspects of alcohol addiction, or rather, how such factors funnel us to drinking in the first place.

This time, it’s more about the practical side of things, though there’s plenty of science here too; it just not the emphasis. Instead, the focus is on understanding what has been going wrong, and fixing it, with tools that are presented one at a time and added to the reader’s toolbox as we go.

You may be wondering: does this mean you need to be committed to stopping drinking? And the answer is no, except for these 30 days. It’s written for people who are of two minds about alcohol; who want to drink less but also feel deprived or upset if you abstain, or people who drink mostly out of habit or boredom, or to self-medicate against stress, for example.

For those who like to be guided through things step-by-step, that’s what the author offers here, with a chapter and journal prompt for each day of the 30-day challenge.

Bottom line: if the above describes you or a loved one, then this book can help.
