In a world filled with booze, it’s hard to be a non-drinker. Yet more and more people every day are setting down their glasses, pushing away their cocktails, and asking themselves what life would be like with a little less alcohol. Whether you’re pursuing specific health goals, about to start a Dry January or Sober October, or just generally looking to cut back, going dry or damp for any length of time can come with some pretty hefty challenges—and some absolutely amazing benefits. It might be a bumpy ride, but this workbook will help you stay focused, stay the course, and get ready to receive all the good that’s coming your way in a life lived dry.
 
Going Dry is divided into six chapters, each one focusing on a different aspect of the dry experience, and featuring prompts, exercises, and activities to help you on your journey. The workbook encourages you to:
 

• Assess your current relationship with alcohol
• Consider how drinking—and not drinking—affects your daily life

• Notice and celebrate the benefits of not drinking as they occur
• Plan ahead for challenges and obstacles you might experience
• Discover new and exciting experiences, hobbies, and pastimes that don’t involve booze

• And more!
