Publisher's Summary
How to stop drinking, stay stopped, and develop emotional skills for a life of excitement and connection…without the hangover.
“No thanks — I’m not drinking tonight.” In a culture that equates alcohol with enjoyment and social acceptance, making this simple statement can make us feel like we’re depriving or even punishing ourselves. “When we realize we don’t want to drink anymore or can no longer drink safely, it can feel like the only choices are to spiral out of control or embrace a joyless life,” says psychotherapist and sobriety expert Veronica Valli. “But it’s not true! Sobriety can be a path filled with fun, excitement, belonging, relaxation, and romance.”
Soberful offers a practical and straightforward program on how to get sober and stay sober by increasing your self-worth, energy, and participation in life. Valli begins by debunking widespread beliefs about alcohol and sobriety, including the illusion that alcohol itself is the problem. Then she takes you into the heart of her method for building an alcohol-free life that works — the Five Pillars of Sustainable Sobriety:
- Movement — Taking care of your body for physical and emotional health
- Connection — Using self-compassion as a foundation for creating healthy and authentic relationships
- Balance — Learning how to disarm the triggers that make you want to drink
- Process — Validating, honoring, and accepting the past to move forward into the future
- Growth — How to keep changing, keep learning, and keep choosing to stay sober throughout the journey of your life
“When we change how we experience the world, we can stop trying to escape our feelings with alcohol,” Valli says. As a leader and pioneer in the field with 21 years of sobriety, Valli now shares the same steps that worked for her and her clients. Written with gentle humor and compassion, Soberful provides a road map to a life beyond drinking — one that is expansive, fulfilling, and joyously free.
Critic Reviews
“Veronica gets it, and this book is the missing piece for people who want to live a vibrant life without alcohol. If you’re questioning your relationship with alcohol in any way, this is the book you need right now. In straight-talking chapters filled with compassionate advice and accessible tools, Veronica delivers a message that is both hopeful and actionable.” (Laura McKowen, best-selling author of We Are the Luckiest: The Surprising Magic of a Sober Life)
“I love Veronica Valli’s new book for its clarity, approachability, and basic common sense. Persuasive without being preachy in the slightest, this is a fabulous book and essential reading for anyone wanting to kick the booze.” (Lucy Rocca, founder of Soberistas, coauthor of The Sober Revolution: Women Calling Time on Wine O’Clock, and author of Glass Half Full: A Positive Journey to Living Alcohol-Free)
“Valli posits a new and different narrative about the perception of alcohol, its pervasiveness in our culture, and how it has historically (and systematically) affected our behaviors and belief systems. Soberful suggests that we can change our misguided beliefs about the benefits of alcohol by revising our perspective, learning a new language, and realizing the power of connection. Valli’s Five Pillars of Sustainable Sobriety provide the inspiration and structure necessary for us to discover the root of the problem and attack it with gusto.” (Laurie Dhue, National Recovery Advocate and former CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News anchor)
