Currently reading "Alcohol Lied to Me" by Craig Beck after finishing Naked Mind.

Recovery Elevator podcast. Listening to other folks share their experiences gave me perspective for my own journey.

i want to mention "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts" by Dr. Gabor Mate. Not about alcohol specifically but really helped me to understand addiction. I call this and "This Naked Mind" my Big Book.

My partner bought me "the unexpected joys of being sober", but you, and a couple of days of sobriety, have finally convinced me to read it. In the chapter listing I see there's some references to nightclubs, which really isn't me, so I hope I can still relate to it.
