Memoirs; Coping with drug & alcohol abuse; Assertiveness, motivation & self-esteem

Of course you have a drinking problem. Alcohol dependence is a totally normal adaptation to living in a bat-shit crazy world that rewards narcissism, dishonesty, violence, and self-obsession. No mystery here. But what if a drinking problem isn't a problem or a mistake, but a biological messenger trying to nudge-then force-us onto a healthier path. That is, if we listen. Those who heal from addiction often emerge fully transformed: they are more grounded in reality, rooted in honesty, able to admit when they're wrong, willing to choose peace over being right, know when to ask for help, and have built lives around helping others. If all 8 billion people on the planet embodied these characteristics, our world would look radically different. Humanity would be far healthier and happier.

In this book, author Paul Churchill shares how he quit drinking over a decade ago and what he has learned from interviewing over 500 people who have successfully ditched the booze and are embracing la Dolce Vita: the good life without alcohol. If you are reading this book with your own goal of quitting drinking, then you're in the right place.

Dolce Vita sets out to answer big questions: What is an addiction? Do I have a drinking problem? Why is it so hard to quit drinking? Can I moderate or control alcohol? Why are more people than ever struggling with addiction despite impressive medical and technological breakthroughs? In these pages, you'll not only find the answers-you'll discover a way forward. A path out of the cycle of drinking and into the good life that's been waiting for you all along.
