Do you wish you could think more clearly during the day or feel less anxious at night? Many of us want to cut back on our drinking–or even stop altogether. If you’re ready for a change, this go-to guide has the answer.
Simple Ways to Unwind without Alcohol offers surprisingly simple lifestyle skills to help you destress, reclaim your calm, and feel more vibrant in your day-to-day life–without alcohol. If you’re stuck in a drinking rut and in need of a wellness reset, you’ll love how empowered and energetic you’ll feel when you reach for this book instead of a drink.
“Stress is one of the biggest stumbling blocks to creating a life without alcohol. The challenge that Rebecca Williams skillfully tackles in her book, Simple Ways to Unwind without Alcohol, is learning to take the edge off our day with better habits. This approach brilliantly puts less emphasis on eliminating alcohol, and more on integrating new behaviors that basically crowd out drinking with healthy behavior changes with lasting impact.”
“Rebecca Williams does a masterful job at compassionately guiding the sober-curious reader on how to change their relationship to alcohol. We are creatures of habit, and change is not always an easy thing to do. Simple Ways to Unwind without Alcohol opens a doorway for anyone who chooses to change by walking through this process, leading to a new life filled with freedom, healing, joy, and peace.”

The Mindfulness Workbook for Addiction, Second Edition
If you struggle with addiction, know that you are not alone. Addictive behaviors are often the result of loss—the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, or even the end of a romantic relationship. You may have turned to alcohol, drugs, or other unhealthy behaviors to avoid the pain of loss. But this often only delays the healing process, and can ultimately lead to a destructive cycle that leaves you feeling trapped. So, how can you break free?
“We combed through stacks of addiction workbooks before finding The Mindfulness Workbook for Addiction. With a blend of engaging narrative and practical tools, the authors show people that it’s possible to feel and move on from years of underlying emotional trauma. With this essential manual on everyday mindful living, thousands have found satisfaction and sustained recovery through newfound self-acceptance and emotional intelligence.”
“This book represents an essential journey to a deeper understanding and healing from addiction. Step by step, it masterfully takes you through this process in a way only someone with extensive clinical experience treating addiction can provide. It is simple to follow with insightful exercises and stays true to the science behind addiction. Whether new or experienced in recovery or mindfulness, this book will take you deeper through your healing.”
