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 alcoholConsider how drinking-and not drinking-affects your daily lifeSet short- and long-term goals for your dry experienceNotice and celebrate the benefits of not drinking as they occurPlan ahead for challenges and obstacles you might experienceDiscover new and exciting experiences, hobbies, and pastimes that don't involve boozeReflect on the overall experience of going dryMake plans for the futureAnd more!

Featuring Hilary's trademark wit and no-judgment approach, Going Dry meets you where you are, helps you through the hard stuff, and reminds you to pause and soak up the good stuff too (Better sleep! More money! More free time!).

Whether you're about to start your first dry challenge or just generally looking to reduce your consumption, Going Dry is the perfect companion for anyone needing a little extra support on their sober-curious journey.
