‘My own view is that addiction is a combination of family history, trauma, biology & the weight of societal pressures & judgements.
It is driven by a desire -not for the substance itself but for the escape from the pain of trauma and the consequences of poverty.’ #sober #poor

Congrats 👏

Absolutely

Agreed! & I know this…yet l keep piling them up…living in eternal hope I’ll get to read them 📚📚

From memoirs to alcohol free challenges, quit lit, or literature about quitting alcohol, continues to be a genre dominated by women. For many sober journeys, the #quitlit books provide a start point & support. #sober #alcohol

The ‘Quit lit’ 📚 genre has grown over the past decade, with lots of books & resources for those looking to re-evaluate their relationship with alcohol.
I’d love to hear your recommendations for books/podcasts/apps etc that might support a sober journey⚡️⚡️ #quitlit #sober #reading
