Exactly what I was looking for, ..very helpful...

I listened to many samples of this type of book..not a heavy drinker, but too frequent..like a bad habit at night after 2 jobs ..toying with the idea of quitting but not really feeling that necessity for that..but maybe I will end up there..in any case, I veryuch related to Rose and she is real, and gives excellent tips and im excited about diving in.

Entertaining and practical advice

Entertaining and packed with practIcal advice.
It's an honest approach to moderating your drinking, while acknowledging some of us may need to cut it out all together.

Great tool

It's often difficult to find a book that does not solely focus on abstinence. Although this book would help in that arena too, I appreciate her view on moderation and mindful drinking. She's also great to listen to. I'm looking forward to starting my journey.

Helpful not judgey

Finally, someone said out loud how much they are drinking! I’m not alone. This book isn’t full of unobtainable wackiness. It’s real life advice. My whole mindset is changing b/c of this book. With alcohol for sure, but with just a lot of things in life! Get it. Worth a credit. Short and you can re-listen when you need to for a pick me up.

Good Advice

Dean delivers a conversation that is informative and motivational for those who want to reign in their alcohol consumption without quitting altogether. It's good advice given with clear recommendations that, if followed, can help you breakup with your unhealthy relationship with alcohol and replace it with mindful drinking that keeps you in control and leaves you with no regrets in the morning.

Never give up

In a nutshell, Dean's message is never give up. If things aren't working or it gets hard she always has a "try this" idea. She has been through it and knows from whence she speaks. Highly recommended.
