The 10-Day Alcohol Detox Plan: Stop Drinking Easily & Safely (Sober Living Books) Paperback – November 13, 2019

Very interesting book full of new insight and advice. Each day is spot on for your 10 day journey AF and beyond if desired. This is the best self help book I have ever read . Highly recommend for those struggling with alcohol

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this book not only gives excellent, common-sense solutions, but Lewis David just has a style of speaking as if he were a friend sitting right next to you at your kitchen table. After struggling with alcohol most of my life (I did quit for a couple years a while back, but went right back), this book just hit home and I just completed my first 10 days. I also love that he offers lots of extras like the podcasts. I have now ordered 4 more of his books!! Do yourself a huge favor and buy this book ❤️

I have read several books on quitting alcohol, and many have helped, but this one is succinct and gives such a perfect amount of encouragement each day for the ten initial days, that it makes the process seem much easier and more manageable.What I have found most relevant to my situation is reframing this process as a choice I’m making for my life and health, both physical and mental, as opposed to being forced to quit something that I would otherwise have kept doing.Other than the occasional thought (largely habit-motivated) quitting has been remarkably easy! I am surprised at how much I really do want to be healthy 😂.Anyway, many thanks to the author for this great little book!

This book is wonderful. The concepts are very straightforward and practical as well as obtainable. The author does a fabulous job giving great advice and helpful tools for navigating life. I can’t wait to read his other titles.

It was a very helpful book. I enjoyed the writing style.I bought the book some time ago and didn’t get very far. My resolve about alcohol waxed and waned. But here in the past month I had to do a 14 day course of meloxicam and alcohol is completely off the table. It was an abrupt halt to an ingrained habit. I found it helpful to read the book and have some insight about what to expect.I’ve continued past the 14 days with the goal of a full month at this point.

I am on day ten of happy, comfortable ,cosy, alcohol free days and nights. At last a simple, practical way to stop drinking.Information is power! And this simple, wonderful book helps reframe the existence of alcohol in your life. A few simple , easy tools and I feel like I am in control and going forward.I really liked the entire set of books, and bought the stand alone and the set.I read them everyday, and highlight a few things for easy reference.In my earlier years I was around a lot of folk that did AA, and they never moved on and recovered their lives, this writer teaches you how to avoid the stuck stage of self pity.Give it a try, it worked for me.on my fourth month, and my bp is down 30 points and I am sleeping fantastic and i feel so much better about myself.I am so grateful to david for this wonderful book and set. buy it and save your life.Now acholol free for 18 months. Life is so much better.

This was just what I needed for a reset! Easy to read each day, and helped shift my mindset to seeing sobriety as a comforting, positive experience. Instead of feeling like I'll be deprived of something, the author provides tips to find meaningful (MAPs) projects to occupy the time you've freed up by not drinking. This is a game-changer since it's about more than self-discipline. It has really important information that goes beyond alcohol. Highly recommend.

If you've read Allan Carr's "Easy Way" books, you'll be familiar with much of the information in this book. The major difference is, this book gives readers a daily plan with some actionable steps, which might make it easier for some folks to follow through on their commitment to quit drinking alcohol.The question is, how committed are you to quitting drinking? After reading the book, it seems to me that a person must go into this detox plan with strong determination to leave the booze behind. The author does give tips to folks who might not have that type of certainty about quitting, to help them reach the point where quitting is their primary goal.In a way, the detox plan is simply self-hypnosis in book form (This is where it resembled the Easy Way book to me).Still, the author does give good information on how alcohol affects us --including our thinking-- and knowledge is power.In any case, I read this because I wanted to know if it might help a buddy of mine who is far too fond of his nightly cocktails. Will it work? Depends. I'm not sure if he is totally committed to quitting, but if he is, this book just might be the plan he needs to help him with his goal.

I made a decision to cut alcohol out of my life for awhile and this book really helped. I can't say enough about how the content and reflections in this book helped me during this time.

If you and/or your family and friends are concerned about your drinking and you wish to cut down your alcohol intake or quit completely then this is the book for you. Unlike other books I have tried which tend to be long and rambling and too complicated this is concise and to the point and, most importantly, easy to read and understand. It explores reasons why we drink, the true addictive nature of alcohol and how marketing and social influences draw us in, and it offers many coping strategies to deal with cravings, situations and mindset to help you on your way. Although it is a 10 day plan, I found it compelling reading and binge read the whole lot in one day, before going back and taking one day at a time and inwardly digesting every chapter and implementing the strategies. It's not an overnight solution (is there such a thing?), and it requires commitment and work but it gives you all the tools and coping strategies you need to start you on your journey and help you stay the course. There are great techniques for relaxation at any time too. If you only ever buy one self help book, make it this one, because you deserve it and you are definitely worth it.

I have already read "Alcohol and You" which helped me a lot to stop my drinking habit. This new book is also very valuable and gives many strategies and explanations to find in sobriety the freedom I longed for.

Highly recommend. This is such an easy book to read and i found it both empowering and implementable. The Activites are insightful , but mainly, the way the author writes makes me want to keep reading.

Why?I hate the term "sober curious" but I guess it is where I have been for years. And on day 8 of following this plan, I "slipped up" and drank. Prior to those 7 days, almost daily drinking had been the norm. 1 dry day a week was a struggle but I'd manage it. 2 was a rareity.Now on my slip up day, I'd convinced myself this wasn't working.And you know what? I tasted alcohol and it no longer did anything for me. I'm actually really glad I had that moment of "weakness". It was a great confirmation bias check for me that this was what I wanted and the next day I was back to not drinking and enjoying a cup of tea rather than a glass of wine.I'm still unsure if I will become an occasional drinker or if I'll be sober long term. But what I do know is sobriety no longer feels like a scary place. It feels like somewhere where there are positive things not somewhere where it's about missing out. I genuinely feel like now I could take alcohol or leave it. Not sure if that would be a long term thing or not but no other tool has made me feel this way.There is a podcast as well which I have found useful. It's challenged my thinking but also made me less hard on myself. It's made me understand while my drinking wasn't ideal, it wasn't as bad as I was telling myself. Somehow I thought if I let up on myself, I'd be less likely to quit. Actually the opposite is true. The realisation that while it's not serving me, it's also not that big a deal has been a massive relief and made it less enticing.
