That's a crazily high number and adds a massive work load to the NHS in the U.K. It's also very selfish when you think reckless irresponsible drinking could stop someone in an emergency situation getting treatment. If you can't drink responsibly don't drink.

I'm going to turn my recovery books post into a masterpost later on today. I have a whole other list that isn't on here of more awesome books I wanna add to it but if you have any good ones that have really helped you not on the list I JUST posted, let me know.

You don't need to send me all the "well-known" titles, they're pretty much all on there. EX: 'brave girl eating', 'eating in the light of the moon', beating ana', ect...

ACTUALLY, I prefer other recovery books that AREN'T eating disorder related just because we already know so many of those!

So, any good titles?

Yesterday I wrote about working our sobriety and mentioned our Tool Box which we need for any addiction or life change. Here’s more from my book The A - Z of Alcohol and sobriety. ‘Tool Box - This is our box of tricks to be off our cravings, triggers, altered/unhelpful thinking and addict voice. Every job needs tools for the work to succeed, Sobriety is no different. One size does not fit all and we need lots of tools to help us through. What works for us one day, may not work the next. We need a good selection. Hopefully, reading this book, you’ve now got some really good ideas and resources but that does not make your toolbox full. We can really learn from ourselves – from each craving, milestone, challenge and reset. Stay curious and don’t be the poor work person who always blames their tools!’ You can fill your box by reaching out, posting, reading and connecting. For more ideas on resources and where to start and maintain sober life then check out my book on Amazon (available worldwide) 🍵🫖☕️💦 Chin Chin 💖 #addiction #alcohol #recovery #sober #alcoholfree #dating #quitlit #podcast #soberpodcast #sobriety #sobrietybooks #recoverybooks #Healthandwellnessbooks #alcoholrecoverybooks #booksonaddictionandrecovery #alcoholismselfhelpbooks #sobrietygiftsforwomen https://www.instagram.com/p/CkpxE2WMuEA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Worried about your Alcohol consumptions or any addictions you may have? Want to know more? Here’s a little something to help you get started from ‘The A - Z of Alcohol and Sobriety: Everything you need to know’ available worldwide on Amazon. ‘Work It - sobriety Is so much more than stopping drinking. If we just put the drink down we will be white knuckling it, climbing the walls and more than likely to relapse. It’s what many refer to as a dry drunk. We have to work out sobriety: Read Quitlit , listen to podcasts, join a sober community and post, read, reach out, connect. Join a zoom meetings, aa, or other support groups. Learn to identify our emotions and work through them. Get help to do so; books, podcast, online courses, therapists. Use our toolbox. We don’t have to do all of this, and certainly not all at once, but the more we do, the more sense it will make and the easier it will be. If we put as much effort into our sobriety as we put into our drinking, then we are far more likely to succeed.’ 🍵🫖☕️💦 Chin Chin 💖 #alcohol #alcoholfree #addiction #sobriety #mentalhealth #quitlit #recovery #sobrietybooks #recoverybooks #Healthandwellnessbooks #alcoholrecoverybooks #booksonaddictionandrecovery #alcoholismselfhelpbooks #sobrietygiftsforwomen https://www.instagram.com/p/Cknec7ysNBv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A random share from my book available worldwide wide on Amazon: Identity Crisis - a term used by psychoanalyst Erik Erickson, along with mid-life crisis. Our biggest identity crisis is in our adolescence, when we start figuring out where we fit in the world. This can be a tricky time for all, with a tug-of-war between our parents, our peers and our conscience. I started drinking when I was 14. Not every day, but a few days a week. My friends and I would work our way around our parents drink cabinets (a real trend in the 70s). Mostly apricot and cherry brandy. We’d drink cans of lager at the park, and on a big night out in Burnham on Crouch, we’s sink two aspirin in a large bottle of cider and drink it threw straws to get drunk quicker. We got away with half pints of lager in the back bar of some pubs, and I remember being allowed to take part in a beer drinking competition at the local village hall – at the age of 16. I got completely smashed that night on whiskey and I’ve never touched it since. I can’t even stand the smell. Anyhow, the whole point of this is for you to see what I did with my identity crisis. I drank my way through it and anaethatised myself. So now, at the grand old age of 57, I am working my way through it along with my mid life one! #alcoholfree #alcohol #addiction #recovery #quitlit #sobriety #sobrietybooks #recoverybooks #Healthandwellnessbooks #alcoholrecoverybooks #booksonaddictionandrecovery #alcoholismselfhelpbooks #sobrietygiftsforwomen https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj2jLINsKQr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Behaviour ‘Behaviour – ever done something drunk that you wouldn’tdream of doing sober? Freud was a neurologist in the 19th and 20th centuries who created the theory of the Id – the little part of our brain that wants it NOW and the only part of our personality that he says is there from birth. It’s how babies make their needs known and met. Fortunately, we develop what he called the Ego and Superego which keep the id in check and our behaviours more socially acceptable. They are the middle men between our id and the world, and make us show up as sensible human beings. Guess what happens to egos when we anaesthetise them? How I love waking up now and remembering everything I did the night before. Not frantically checking my phone and Facebook to see what I’ve said, who I’ve called and what I’ve texted. When we drink, we tend to tell others what we think and blame them for all of our woes. But no-one else can make us feel or behave in a certain way. NO-ONE- only we have the control over how we respond.’ The A - Z of Alcohol and Sobriety: Everything you need to know by Corinna Alderton.

‘Honesty - is always the best policy. Learning to be honest with ourselves and others can be difficult but so worth it in the end. Admitting to ourselves that we have a problem with alcohol is tough, but it’s a huge step forward. Even if we don’t do anything about it at first, or keep trying and then giving up, identifying the problem is good. This is our journey, and we may not want to tell everyone of our issues and problems, but seeing and speaking our truth can be so refreshing. It stops us from tying ourselves up in knots by trying to remember what we have said to whom! In a nutshell - be true to yourself, only tell others what you want to, but don’t lie. ‘ The A - Z of Alcohol and Sobriety: Everything you need to know.

‘Sugar - we ingest so much sugar when we drink alcohol that our body craves replacement when we stop. It’s our choice whether to ride it out in the same way as alcohol or to succumb. Sugar is not good for us and is linked to obesity, heart disease, diabetes and poor energy levels. Beware the sweeteners though as many have been linked to far worse conditions. Stevia plant appears to be the most popular currently but ensure it is 100%. Sugar triggers our Reward Pathway stimulating our Dopamine and Endorphins. We therefore get cravings and withdrawals when we stop. These include: • Headache • Sleep problems • Depression • Poor concentration • Anxiety • Restlessness • Feeling sick • Dizziness • Lack of energy or feeling tired • Muscle cramps I am currently reminding myself every day that I have a choice to eat sugar and feel ill, or abstain and feel so much better in myself.’ The A - Z of Alcohol and Sobriety: Everything you need to know by Corinna Alderton.

‘Korsakoff’s Syndrome – is a brain injury, similar to dementia, caused by poor nutrition and lack of Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) which can be caused by drinking alcohol. Low thiamine affects the parts of our brain (Thalamus, Hypothalamus and Limbic System) which help with our sleep, movement, sensation, nerves, circulation, thirst, hunger, perceptions, emotions and memory. It stands to reason, therefore, that a depletion of Thiamine will cause confusion, memory loss, poor co-ordination, visual problems and hallucinations. People with this condition often make up stories to fill in for the memory gaps, which they then believe to be true. ‘ htps://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh27-2/134-142.htm The A – Z of Alcohol and Sobriety: Everything you need to know by Corinna Alderton.

Stop Drinking Safely ‘Detox – when we stop taking something our body has become reliant on, then we go through a period of detoxification. This varies, depending on how much we have been taking, genetics and our health. Stopping drinking for some can be very dangerous as it can lead to seizures and death. I would always encourage everyone who is stopping alcohol, to discuss this with their medical practitioner first. Some of us need a medical detox in hospital, whilst others can do this safely at home, either with or without medication. We are all different, and medical advice is always recommended. But I didn’t practise what I preach, so I get it if you don’t want to do this. If you are physically dependent on alcohol (i.e., you need a drink to stop shaking and to be able to function each day) do NOT stop drinking dead. If you cannot talk to someone or access a medical detox, then Reduce Gradually the amount you drink each day until you are at a stage where you can then stop. Reduce Gradually – if you are drinking every day, then it is advisable to gradually reduce your alcohol intake before you stop completely. Start by making a note of what you are actually drinking, work out your daily Units (you could use the Drinkaware app to help with this) and gradually reduce this down by 10% each day. You can do this by either lowering the amount you drink or the strength of what you are drinking. According to the article below, when you have had a week of drinking 10 units or less a day it should be safe for you to stop drinking. But again, I would encourage you to speak to a medical practitioner for support with this.’ https://www.wearewithyou.org.uk/help-and-advice/advice-you/how-safely-detox-alcohol-home/ The A – Z of Alcohol and Sobriety: Everything you need to know by Corinna Alderton.

‘Toxic Relationship - is any relationship that is not helpful to us. If others make us feel uncomfortable, do not hear us, continually berate us and put us down, or try to stop us from achieving our goals then they do not deserve a place in our life. It does not matter who these people are – our boss or our parents – if they repeatedly make us feel worthless and fill us with fear and anxiety, then it’s time to let the relationship go. Often, we stay in these relationships because we think we ‘should’ or ‘ought to do the right thing’ but who for? For them? Because of who they are? Because society expects it? To save face? What about us? We deserve to be happy and alive. We can only try so much, we cannot make others change the way they are (nor should we), we can only change our response. ‘The A - Z of Alcohol and Sobriety: Everything you need to know by Corinna Alderton.

#PTSD ‘PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) - after any traumatic event it is perfectly normal for us to spend a few weeks feeling upset and anxious, having problems with sleep, reliving the situation and picking it apart. This is our mind's way of processing what has happened and storing our memories in sequence. Sometimes we can get very stuck in the experience which could be a one-off event or repeated trauma that we have endured over a number of years. The most common symptom of this is Flashbacks which can be triggered by anything at any time and will take us right back to the event as if we were reliving it. Other symptoms can be: poor sleep, anxiety, depression, avoidance, anger and feeling numb. Psychotherapy and medication can help. At the time of writing the most effective therapy is thought to be EMDR.’ The A - Z of Alcohol and Sobriety: Everything you need to know by Corinna Alderton.
