Soberful: Uncover a Sustainable, Fulfilling Life Free of Alcohol
by Veronica Valli
Hardcover – January 25, 2022
How to stop drinking, stay stopped, and develop emotional skills for a life of excitement and connection … without the hangover.
“No thanks―I’m not drinking tonight.” In a culture that equates alcohol with enjoyment and social acceptance, making this simple statement can make us feel like we’re depriving or even punishing ourselves. “When we realize we don’t want to drink anymore or can no longer drink safely, it can feel like the only choices are to spiral out of control or embrace a joyless life,” says psychotherapist and sobriety expert Veronica Valli. “But it’s not true! Sobriety can be a path filled with fun, excitement, belonging, relaxation, and romance.”
Soberful offers a practical and straightforward program on how to get sober and stay sober by increasing your self-worth, energy, and participation in life. Valli begins by debunking widespread beliefs about alcohol and sobriety, including the illusion that alcohol itself is the problem. Then she takes you into the heart of her method for building an alcohol-free life that works―the Five Pillars of Sustainable Sobriety:
• Movement―Taking care of your body for physical and emotional health
• Connection―Using self-compassion as a foundation for creating healthy and authentic relationships
• Balance―Learning how to disarm the triggers that make you want to drink
• Process―Validating, honoring, and accepting the past to move forward into the future
• Growth―How to keep changing, keep learning, and keep choosing to stay sober throughout the journey of your life
“When we change how we experience the world, we can stop trying to escape our feelings with alcohol,” Valli says. As a leader and pioneer in the field with 21 years of sobriety, Valli now shares the same steps that worked for her and her clients. Written with gentle humor and compassion, Soberful provides a road map to a life beyond drinking―one that is expansive, fulfilling, and joyously free.
From Park Bench to Park Avenue: One Man's Journey Out of Homelessness
by Anthony Brown (Author)
Paperback – May 13, 2020
“Suddenly, I woke up in the middle of the night to find my mother lying on the floor in the living room, surrounded by a puddle of blood. She had been shot… Dad had disappeared and the world seemed a blank except for me calling, “Mom! Mom!” Her body, not moving at all. I called her name over and over until the tears blocked my vision. That image, seared into my brain after all this time, still has the same effect on me today as it did back then. Even after years of drug abuse and homelessness, that image…would never be erased from my mind. Things were different after that…I was different.”Anthony Brown’s dramatic life story has led him to many dark and often dangerous places. Addicted to drugs and alcohol since he was very young, From Park Bench to Park Avenue, details his incredible journey from disfunction and homelessness to recovery and triumph—pursuing his ultimate passion of giving hope and help to those still imprisoned by destructive behaviors and substance abuse. All of the proceeds from From Park Bench to Park Avenue will be used to transform a historic home into Brown Manor - a place of recovery, where individuals can begin a new journey, alcohol and drug free; a place that offers a hand up, not a handout.”
