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
