The Sophisticated Alcoholic

More about the book

Focusing on the often-overlooked middle-class drinkers, this book challenges conventional views on alcoholism, emphasizing that many who struggle with alcohol are not stereotypical addicts but rather "Sophisticated Alcoholics" who recognize their excessive drinking. It advocates for a transformative resolution rather than a cure, suggesting that lasting change comes from addressing underlying issues rather than merely treating alcohol use as a disease. The author's personal journey illustrates that individuals can redefine their relationship with alcohol, making it less significant in their lives.
