NOT DRINKING TONIGHT
A Guide to Creating a Sober Life You Love
A new approach to an old habit by licensed therapist and relationship expert Amanda White.
Amanda White's entrance point is more conversational and different than conventional 12-step models, in Not Drinking Tonight. In order to discover their root cause for drinking, White introduces and unpacks principles such as boundaries, shame, reparenting, and even attachment theory, sharing these fundamental psychology concepts with a new generation of readers. While the 80s and 90s saw the rise of codependent lingo and literature, White is one of the newer generation therapists who reframes this work for a new millennial+ audience.
Drinking is everywhere whether it's wine-o-clock or impromptini, alcohol often is a fundamental part of socializing and destressing. And it can seem black or white: you drink or you don't. If you fall into the latter camp, people automatically assume one of a few things: you're pregnant, you're taking antibiotics, or you're in recovery. Not Drinking Tonight is a book that helps women explore their relationship with alcohol in a new way and create a sober life they love.
The narrative threads are based on therapist Amanda White's three archetypal clients, following their journey in reevaluating their relationship with alcohol, understanding why they drink, and discovering how to stop. The women come from diverse backgrounds and range in the seriousness of their alcohol consumption, demonstrating a mild, moderate, and severe case of Alcohol Use Disorder. Each will come to a different conclusion about why they want to stop drinking by the end of the book, a framework that not only recalls Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, but also shares therapeutic tools and practices. Reflective questions help readers dig deeper into their personal experience and apply the concepts to their own lives. Where other sobriety or sober?curious books present various programs to stop drinking, Amanda's book first - and critically - addresses the root issues that cause us to reach for a drink, setting up the reader for long?term psychological healing and success.
We Are the Luckiest meets Quite Like a Woman in this accessible self-help/self-care hybrid aimed for those who question their relationship to drinking.
