She then focuses on the emotional skills we need to build for a fulfilling life without alcohol. Through the five pillars of sustainable sobriety-Movement, Connection, Balance, Process, and Growth-she shares effective and empowering strategies for processing the uncomfortable emotions we once numbed with alcohol."When we change how we experience the world, we can stop trying to escape our feelings with alcohol," Valli says. Written with gentle humor and compassion, Soberful provides a road map to a life beyond drinking-one that is expansive, fulfilling, and joyously free.

If youre questioning your relationship with alcohol in any way, this is the book you need right now. In straight-talking chapters filled with compassionate advice and accessible tools, Veronica delivers a message that is both hopeful and actionable." --Laura McKowen, bestselling author of We Are the Luckiest: The Surprising Magic of a Sober Life "I love Veronica Vallis new book for its clarity, approachability, and basic common sense.

Soberful suggests that we can change our misguided beliefs about the benefits of alcohol by revising our perspective, learning a new language, and realizing the power of connection. Vallis Five Pillars of Sustainable Sobriety provide the inspiration and structure necessary for us to discover the root of the problem and attack it with gusto." --Laurie Dhue, National Recovery Advocate and former CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News anchor "Veronica Valli has written a comprehensive guide to getting sober.

Highly recommended." --Sherry Gaba, LCSW, coauthor of Love Smacked and Infinite Recovery and the go-to expert on VH1s Celebrity Rehab "For those of us who happened upon the cyber-sober sphere in and around 2010, Veronica Valli was already a bit of a legend in the recovery blogging space. A woman in long-term recovery herself, Veronica has always excelled at delivering a no-nonsense, inclusive, and easy-to-understand message to people either exploring their relationship to alcohol or trying to save their lives from alcohol destruction. Being a skilled therapist helps her hammer home the simple truth--life is better when we show up for it fully present.
