Our society uses a dangerous alcohol. It affects many; it comes to steal and destroy. Its time to have an honest conversation about its role in your life. Are you the boss, or is alcohol the master? There is a stigma attached to narratives about alcohol in our livesdenial, downplaying, and deflection. And there is a major oversight when assessing the true and very real effects alcohol has on the individual, families, and society at large.
Why is it that we open a drink at any occasion for any reasonbe it sad, bad, or brilliantwithout consideration for the long-term effects? Why is it we dont have a solid understanding of why we are either intoxicated, hungover, or waiting for the next round?
After three years of living alcohol-free, Maz Compton is speaking her truth to anyone who feels trapped in an alcohol-induced yet high-functioning haze, as she was, and has designed a thirty-one-day blueprint to help people break free from the endless cycle of drinking and guilt and to redefine their relationship with alcohol to embrace a new way of lifeone of freedom and one of wellness.

UnSpoken is your glimmer of hope, helping you out of the place you are stuck and into a life of empowered choice. This book will teach you how you can stop getting wasted and how to start being awesome.
I really enjoyed a good part of this book. Maz speaks a lot of sense, and once I warmed to her writing style (think infused with an infectious bubbliness). A lot of the advice is super-helpful, and provides a good framework for anybody considering abstinence. She lost me a bit in places, such as the name dropping for its own sake, and praising David Wolfe, but I managed to look past this to enjoy the message. Well worth the read if you're considering going down the alcohol-free path.
I loved everything about this book. A totally refreshing way to look at alcohol, it’s role in our lives and how to handle giving up the worlds biggest drug of choice.
