Do you wish you could just quit and feel good instead of ashamed and alone? For years Gayle was stuck in a miserable cycle of drinking and shame, desperately wanting to stop, but too scared to do so.Until she did.In this warm, uplifting book, and in her gentle style, Gayle shares her own inspiring journey and powerful teachings that will empower you to quit drinking and feel good about it - no matter what. This book is the ultimate tool in self-love and empowerment and will transform the way you feel about sobriety and, most importantly, yourself.
I first became sober curious two years ago. Gayle has been instrumental for me on this journey and without her insights, I wouldn't have the courage to change. Not just how I see drinking, partying, and all of that but many other aspects of my life. If you are thinking about drinking less or stopping altogether (for whatever reason), Gayle and this book will be your best friends. I read it once, then twice, and now the book is a constant companion; I open the pages at random and take what I need for the day.
I loved this book! So many tools to quit drinking and so much inspiration that alcohol free is the best gift you can give yourself! It works wherever you are in your life- “curious about quitting” to “I’ve had enough” and now what? Highly recommend!!💜
