No Alcohol: The Best Decision of My Life
by Nathalie Stüben
Description
Nathalie Stüben is in her early 30s and a successful journalist when she has to admit to herself that she is addicted to alcohol, and that she can't go on like this. On her own initiative, she joins a rehab program. She also begins doing research and comes across unclarity and many inconsistencies: Why do we make a distinction between alcohol and other drugs? How can I be addicted even though I don't drink every day? Why do I still have to call myself an alcoholic after I stop drinking? Is abstinence really not about stopping drinking?
Based on her own story, the author dispels the most common misconceptions about alcohol addiction. With her fresh, unbiased view, she is able to make us comprehend what we have only suspected up to now: the problem is widespread in the midst of our society.
• How a journalist became the role model in the struggle against alcohol and helps others today.
• A modern, fresh view of the problem that has arrived in the middle of society.
• Mistakes, misunderstandings, and self-delusion: the sobering truth about alcohol
