Currently reading "Alcohol Lied to Me" by Craig Beck after finishing Naked Mind.

Recovery Elevator podcast. Listening to other folks share their experiences gave me perspective for my own journey.

I read The Naked Mind. It was really good and I feel it helped me gain a new perspective.

[-] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I loved that book and Alcohol Explained too… a bit more scientific. Understanding how it fucks up your brain chemistry and perpetuates the drinking cycle itself was mind-blowing.

Getting sober really showed me how much of my depression was self inflicted

My partner bought me "the unexpected joys of being sober", but you, and a couple of days of sobriety, have finally convinced me to read it. In the chapter listing I see there's some references to nightclubs, which really isn't me, so I hope I can still relate to it.

I strongly concur with these recommendations! I haven't read Quit like a woman (on account of being a dude), but I'm sure it's good.
