About this deal

A short read, just over 3h on Audible. I feel like this book wasn't written for me—that doesn't need to be a problem, but I think in this case it was a weakness. The book would be best-suited to folks who have a pretty serious drinking problem. The baseline he works against in the book is something like being drunk/hungover at least 3 days a week, spending hundreds of dollars each night out, vomiting, embarrassing oneself, etc. Therefore the argument is something like "drinking a lot is really costly, therefore one should quit drinking entirely". The more subtle argument that I felt that it failed to make was "you should go from drinking occasionally/moderately to not drinking at all". Being someone who went from drinking occasionally to not at all, I don't think I would have been hard to persuade, but I don't feel like Alexander really tried.

Alcohol is expensive, and it has side effects that go far beyond just having a headache the next day. Why you need to reframe the idea of 'giving up' – and how doing so will make all the difference to your success How alcohol affects every relationship in your life – and how its absence does the same (but with greater rewards) PDF / EPUB File Name: Sober_On_A_Drunk_Planet_-_Sean_Alexander.pdf, Sober_On_A_Drunk_Planet_-_Sean_Alexander.epubWhy your bank balance will thank you for cutting out alcohol (and it reaches far beyond the money you'll save) We mark every occasion with alcohol, whether it's a good day, bad day, new job, old job, divorce, wedding, funeral, birthday, holiday and the list goes on and on…you can always guarantee that someone, somewhere, is getting drunk… and it's 'normal' to get drunk right? Whether you're a binge drinker, an end-of-day wine drinker, or a social drinker, you can transform your life by making a different choice. It isn't just people who know they have a problem who stand to benefit from giving up alcohol – it's everyone. This is my first podcast where I talk openly about my addiction, recovery and how I am building a life that I never believed I could attain in addiction. The author leans in heavily on weight and being ugly and fat when drinking. What a horrible message! Do not read this if you have any body and eating issues. There’s also data that supports if you give up alcohol you can be gravitated to sugar, so you may not loose weight at all.

I talk about my addiction to alcohol, drugs and gambling in a particularly dark time for me when I was 28 and how rehab saved my life. I talk about my experience of going to Alcoholics anonymous and doing the 12 step programme. I also talk about how I feel out of favour with the programme and found sobriety connection in other ways. What are the most mind-blowing transformations from giving up alcohol that everyone should know about? And why everyone can benefit from sobriety - whether you're a binge drinker, social drinker or everyday drinker. If the idea of giving up alcohol sounds like a sacrifice, think about what you're giving up instead. Quality sleep… Time lost to hangovers… Money you could have used to transform your life…Imagine the difference in your life if you were to take those side effects away and save the money to fund what you really want to do with your life – and there's a strong chance it involves something a whole lot more fulfilling than a glass of wine or bottle of beer. What you can learn from David Bowie…the 12-step program and how cutting out alcohol creates the perfect space to do so Full Book Name: Sober On A Drunk Planet: Giving Up Alcohol. The Unexpected Shortcut to Finding Happiness, Health and Financial Freedom

Sobriety is an amazing power to have and it has given me the strength and courage to start my own business, Fitology. Through Life, Fitness and Nutrition coaching I want to help others make the same transformational changes they want to with their own lives as I have with mine. I hope the podcasts provide hope and inspiration for people that listen as I know the biggest thing that made me realise I needed help was listening to addicts and relating to their former lives. Giving up' alcohol might sound daunting... But what are you actually giving up when you're hungover on the sofa all day? Cutting out the booze can transform your life in unexpected ways. As far as tone goes, he went for an emphatic voice, sort of like he was salesman for sobriety. While I believe he feels this way, writing in this style always feels a bit disingenuous to me. The book is filled with lofty promises of endless energy, disappearing anxiety, loads of confidence, career success, fitness, etc. I agree that alcohol can be an impediment to these things, but in my experience quitting drinking doesn't create super-humans. Likewise, I felt like he underplayed some of the challenges associated with total abstinence. Sober On A Drunk Planet: Giving Up Alcohol. The Unexpected Shortcut to Finding Happiness, Health and Financial Freedom by Sean Alexander – eBook Details

Alcohol is the one drug, that if we have too much of it we are shamed for our behaviour, but if we decide not to drink, we are classed as boring. We live on a drunk planet. The incredible transformation you'll see in your body when you stop drinking (there are subtle side effects you're not even aware of until you stop) Many years ago, my brother made the decision to quit drinking. Alcohol had turned his life upside down, and he had had enough. I’m not familiar with all the struggles he experienced during his journey, but he has been sober for quite some time (I’m not entirely sure how long). He frequently talks about how society is built for drinking, whether in public or not, and trying to quit is difficult in a world where drinking alcohol seems as common as drinking water.
