Sober On A Drunk Planet

What stands out here is the direct, non-preachy voice. The book brings together humour, science and lived experience in a way that feels clear and motivating, while keeping the focus on real-life change rather than moralising.

It may suit readers who are sober curious, trying to stay sober, or thinking seriously about stopping drinking altogether. For anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol, it offers a grounded, thought-provoking perspective on what may open up when drinking is no longer part of daily life.

This book examines what it means to stop drinking in a society where alcohol is widely normalised. Sean Alexander combines personal experience with perspectives from his work as a therapist and strength coach to explore eight areas of life that can change when alcohol is removed.

Alongside practical advice, the book looks at reframing the idea of giving up alcohol, the effects of alcohol on confidence, appearance, money, relationships, sex, spirituality and career, and the realities of staying alcohol-free in social and workplace settings.
